Question

Think of 1 person that you know and what their job is. Which of the 5 sectors are they a part of? To answer this, tell me their job, what they do, and how that makes them a part of the sector that you’ve chosen.

Answer 1

My friend's dad is a nurse. He provides a service to other people, so he is a part of the tertiary sector.

• The primary sector is jobs that involve collecting or harvesting raw materials (like steel).
• The secondary sector is jobs that use those raw materials to make things (like medical equipment).
• The tertiary sector is jobs that use those things to help other people or provide a service (like healthcare).
