Document Summary
Harvey krahn, author of this week"s reading, work, industry, and canadian society, talks about the various ways of categorizing workers and their jobs, the national occupational. Classification system and the trends affecting blue, white, and pink collar workers. In canadian society, it can be argued that the main type of economic activity is industrial work. Industrial work has a few sectors that fall under it. Firstly, there is the primary sector which includes. Agriculture, mining, forestry, and other resources extraction industries . Secondly, there is the secondary sector which includes manufacturing and construction, where goods are produced from the raw materials supplied by the primary sector . Third and lastly, there is the tertiary sector where services are provided such as finance, education, retail trade, etc. rather than products. Ever since, the primary and secondary sector has dramatically declined while the tertiary sector has now climbed up to 78% of all workers.
