What is basic and nonbasic employment, and why are both of these important to the local economies of communities in North America?
What will be an ideal response?
Basic employment is employment in the industry or industries that a region uses to generate trade and income from elsewhere. Nonbasic employment is employment that provides goods and services to the local economy. Nonbasic employment is generated by basic employment. When a city or town experiences growth in a basic industry, the growth in basic employment results in growth in nonbasic employment (for example, teachers, doctors, and jobs in retail).
