The three subsectors accounted for 5.5 percent of the gainfully employed in 1979 and 6 percent in 1987. The value contributed by the subsector to GDP was C£48.7 million in 1979 and C£178 million in 1988. Transportation and storage alone represented 74.7 percent of the subsector's value in 1979 and 72 percent in 1988. The subsector could be considered to some extent trade because of large components in transshipment trade, warehousing services, and air passenger services connected with tourism.
