INTRODUCTION

A nations economy can be divided into various sectors to define the proportion of the population
engaged in the activity sector. This categorization is seen as a continuum of distance from the
natural environment. The continuum starts with the primary sector, which concerns itself with
the utilization of raw materials from the earth such as agriculture and mining. From there, the
distance from the raw materials of the earth increases.

Primary Sector
The primary sector of the economy extracts or harvests products from the earth. The primary
sector,Includesthe production of raw material and basic foods. Activities associated with the pri
mary sector include agriculture (bothsubsistence and commercial), mining, forestry, farming,
grazing, hunting and gathering, fishing, and quarrying. The packaging and processing of the raw
material associated with this sector is also considered to be part of this sector. In developed and
developing countries, a decreasing proportion of workers are involved in the primary sector.
About3% of the U.S. labor force is engaged in primary sector activity today, while more than
two-thirds of the labor force were primary sector workers in the mid-nineteenth century.

Secondary Sector
The secondary sector of the economy manufactures finished goods. All of manufacturing,
processing, and construction lies within the secondary sector. Activities associated with the
secondary sector include metal working and smelting, automobile production, textile production,
chemical and engineering industries, aerospace manufacturing, energy utilities, engineering,
breweries and bottlers, construction, and shipbuilding.

Tertiary Sector
The tertiary sector of the economy is the service industry. This sector provides services to the
general population and to businesses. Activities associated with this sector include retail and
wholesale sales, transportation and distribution, entertainment (movies, television, radio, music,
theater, etc.), restaurants, clerical services, media, tourism, insurance, banking, healthcare, and
law.
Here, we try to understand the working and manufacturing process of a manufacturing company
Kimberly-Clark. This belongs to secondary sector.
