This decline - in harmony with the tendencies characteristic of active earners as a whole - was moderate in the eighties and the bulk of it took place between 1990 and 1996. - The distribution by industry of daily commuting active earners underwent a great change, which can be seen partly as a consequence of the generál rearrangement of industrial structure. The tertiary sector employed only one third of commuters in 1980. Nowadays every other active earner who is not working at their place of residence is employed in the service sector. Frequency of commuting has grown in industry and construction. There was a temporary increase in agriculture between 11
