Why this option does not fit
Storstäder har främst råvaruindustri; mindre orter har de flesta tjänsteföretagen
This reverses the usual pattern: cities have a broad service and retail sector.
Storstäder och mindre orter har ungefär samma blandning av branscher
Industries vary geographically, partly with access to natural resources.
Storstäder har främst offentliga jobb; mindre orter har nästan bara privata jobb
Both public and private employers exist in large and small towns.
