Work B: Key Divisions of economic activity Although the structure of each country is different, their economies can be shown to have similar sectors. When speaking of business or economic activity, commentators normally recognized three major sectors: primary-agriculture, fishing, mining, construction secondary-crafts and manufacturing tertiary-services, including education, banking, insurance, etc. The occupational structure The types of activities that most workers are occupied in differ, sometimes dramatically, from one country to another and from one time to another. In most developing countries (and in all countries before the 19th century), the vast majority of the workforce work in the agricultural, or primary sector. Their work is almost entirely manual, and most of the countrys labour power is concentrated on the basic task of feeding the population. In fully developed countries far more of their productive resources are directed towards other economic activities. In the United States and Canada, for example, only 4 and 7 per cent, respectively, of all employed persons work in agriculture, fishing, and mining, compared to more than 70 per cent in China. 5.3 Company organization (P.45) This section deals with the division and departments of a company and the use of job titles within the company.
