Classification of sectors
Primary sector
This sector is the first stage in the production of goods and services. The primary sector is the portion of the region’s economy that is devoted to the extraction of basic raw materials such as mining, lumbering, fishing, quarrying, and agriculture. This sector aims to improve the yield with the use of technology, although it is decreasing in size compared to the rest of the economy. Some of primary sector jobs are farmers that grow their crops to sell or fishermen going out to see to catch fish to sell. All countries have their own primary industry, but its importance is decreasing in developed countries due to the fact that more machinery are coming in and taking the jobs in the primary sector.
Secondary Sector
This is the sector that is devoted to the manufacturing and processing of raw materials that are extracted by the primary sector to produce goods. The secondary section is the portion of the region’s economy devoted to the processing of basic materials. The secondary sector can be divided into three main groups these groups are manufacturing, building and construction and public utilities such as water and gas. Manufacturing transforms all the raw materials provided by primary producers into finished goods. Building and construction and public utilities are vital in many countries.
