Industry
The Clark Fisher Model
• To know the different employment sectors
• To understand why these change from place to place
• To be able to explain why these change over time
The different employment sectors:
Primary: Extracting raw materials from the earth, mining, farming,
forestry, fishing
Secondary: When we make things in factories, factory workers
Tertiary: When you offer someone a service: teacher, police man,
lawyer, tourism sector
• Huge disparity between top and bottom
Quaternary: High research development, programmer /

Case studies: (2007 data)
Bangladesh (Pre-Industrial):
Primary sector:
• 63% of workers
• Most people work on farms or land
• It is a country which tries to produce enough resources for its people
• Farming is difficult because of the environment (serious floods damaging
crops)
• Failure of harvest
—> dying / starving
, Secondary sector:
• 11% of workers
• More and more people making the countries own manufactured goods such as
textiles and clothes
• Progress is slow because many people are poor
Tertiary sector:
• 26% of workers
• Large because many people work in government departments which administer
the country
China (Industrial):
Primary sector:
• 43% of workers
• Early stage of development and farming is important because it wants
to feed as many people of its own as possible
• Since China became one of the important countries of manufacturing
industry they are now industrialising
• Massive growth of new firms, making everything from steel, ships and
cars to toys, drugs, paint, clothes, pharmaceuticals…
• China exports most of these goods to richer countries such as Japan,
USA and UK
Secondary sector:
• 25% of workers
• Very important
• Create more wealth
Tertiary sector:
• 32% of workers
• They have grown too
• Such as health, transport and education
• Providing for the growing number of people in factories or on farms
USA (Post-Industrial)
Primary sector:
• 3% of workers
• Economic unbalanced because of sector distortion
• Farming, mining and forestry got mechanised —> few workers
• USA is rich enough to export any extra food and raw materials
• China and Mexico can make way cheaper goods
• De-Industrialisation
Secondary sector:
Visible is the change in a
• 23% of workers country as it develops in its
Tertiary sector: industries and services
• 75% of workers Ich
• Millions are employed
• In offices, schools, hospitals and banks, tourism and leisure
• Too many people are dependent now
• Services and industries may shrink because of mechanisation
