Clark's classification
Clark classified industries into the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors. The quaternary sector is a term coined later, which came into use as information and knowledge industries advanced.

Secondary sector of the economy
The secondary sector refers to industries that process products obtained from the primary sector and natural resources to produce the goods or energy people need. It includes mining, construction, electric power, gas, water supply, manufacturing, repair, maintenance, and broadcasting.
