Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Jobs are all terms used to describe the category of a job. These are all different types of economic activity which describe the ways that people can earn a living.
- Primary: Jobs that involve extracting resources from the Earth and Sea i.e. Fisherman, Farmer, Miner, Oil Rig Worker.
- Secondary: Jobs that involve making and manufacturing goods from raw materials i.e. Brewer, Factory Worker.
- Tertiary: Jobs that involve a service or selling goods i.e. Politician, Childcarer, Librarian, Taxi driver.
There is also a fourth:
- Quaternary: jobs that involve research and development (usually using hi-tech equipment) i.e. Pharmacist, Chemist, Rocket Scientist.
Some are hard to pinpoint such as carpenter because they involve two economic activities; Secondary (making furniture from wood) and Tertiary (providing a service).
