Primary Sector
The primary sector of the economy is the industrial sector that’s involved in the extraction
and production of raw materials. Primary sector examples include farming, mining, fishing, logging, and quarrying.
The five economic sectors are primary sector (raw materials), secondary sector (manufacturing), tertiary
sector (services), quaternary sector (information services), and quinary sector (human services).
The secondary sector of the economy involves the transformation of raw materials produced by the primary sector into finished goods (McGuffin-Cawley, 2017)
. Secondary sector examples include automotive, construction, food processing, and manufacturing.
The tertiary sector of the economy, also known as the service sector, provides services instead of finished products. Services provided by the tertiary sector include attention, information, advice, access, experience, and affective labor.
