thread_title: Examples of tertiary industries

message: Tertiary sector of the "economy", not "industry"
industry/manufacturing is the second sector
agro/mining ecc. the primary
the classification is part of a french economic teaching.
Services is no part of "industry".
: Your definition of the word "industry" is too wide .... consult an English dictionary for details. --Joy [shallot] 14:34, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong headline 

message: First, it would be a good idea to cite someone as the source of the primary/secondary/tertiary distinction. I don't know who the original source is, but somebody should. If not the source, at least someone should be able to find an early reference to this division.
Second, primary does not just include agriculture; it includes everything appropriated directly from nature, including mining (cited here as secondary) and hunting and fishing.
Third, is this a division of "industry," of "the economy," or of "economic activity"? I think it's the last. What happens over time is that fewer people are actively involved in primary activities, more shift their efforts to secondary activities, and then, finally, there is a shift away from both primary and secondary activities towards tertiary activities.
Fourth, the subdivisions among tertiary activities--quaternary and beyond--seem out of keeping with the logic of the original scheme. Primary activities take from nature, secondary activities use materials taken from nature to create something new, and tertiary activities (to the extent that there is a hierarchy here) involve the use of secondary products to serve some economic purpose.
Fifth, the stuff about "soft sector" employment is a nonsensical list of business school buzzwords.

thread_title:  Somewhat confused 

message: I don't believe either of the cited sources is actually saying that the service sector tends to be wealth consuming. Rather they appear to be saying that government services (as opposed to the service sector in general) are wealth consuming. Can anyone provide better sources?
Here is the text in the current article that concerns me:
According to some economists, the service sector tends to be wealth consuming, whereas manufacturing is wealth producing.David Friedman, New America Foundation (2002-06-16). No Light at the End of the Tunnel Los Angeles Times.  Sir Keith Joseph in his lecture Monetarism IS Not Enough, contrasted wealth producing sectors in an economy such as manufacturing with the service sector which tends to be a wealth consuming sector. He contended that an economy declines as its wealth producing sector begins to shrink. Sir Keith Joseph, Center for Policy Studies (1976-04-05).Stockton Lecture, Monetarism Is Not Enough, with forward by Margaret Thatcher. (Barry Rose Pub.) Margaret Thatcher Foundation (2006).
