Please name and describe the three sectors of economic activity.

What will be an ideal response?


The three sectors of economic activity are primary (agricultural), secondary (manufacturing), and tertiary (service) industries. The primary sector is that portion of the economy or labor force that involves securing raw materials and resources directly from the land. The manufacturing sector turns the primary resource into a product or goods. The tertiary industry consists of low-skilled occupations that require little education, as well as high-skilled occupations that require high education. The lower skilled sector performs many of the tasks associated with domestic work. The higher-level service sector are in finance, marketing, and tech positions.
