Answer:

How the job is related to natural resources of a country.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an economically active population, there is a division according to the sectors of activity, that is, each worker operates in a particular sector of the economy. Thus, this population is distributed in three sectors of economic activity: primary sector, secondary sector and tertiary sector.

The primary sector covers all productive activities involved in agriculture, livestock and extraction (mineral, animal and plant), which are related to the exploitation of natural resources and the production of raw material that will be absorbed by another sector of the economy ( secondary).

The secondary sector includes activities focused on industry, consumer goods production, construction and power generation.

The tertiary sector represents service and trade activities.
