What is industry? Its types.
Industry refers to the production of an economic good or service within an economy.There are four types of economic production that are considered to be the most significant.
Sectors of business
PRIMARY SECTOR
SECONDARY SECTOR
TERTIARY SECTOR
QUATERNARY SECTOR
Primary industry extracts raw materials from the earth, such as coal, fish and wheat.
Secondary industry processes primary products into manufactured goods. Examples: car production, making tables
Tertiary industry provides a service, either to individuals or to other businesses. For example doctors, lawyers, taxi drivers and mechanics are all employed in the service sector.
Quaternary sector contains employees who are considered the "intellectual elite.” Researchers, museum curators, teachers and artists are all a part of this sector.
Nations with more types of sectors tend to be wealthier. It is important for a country to have all four in order to have a balanced economy.
