Secondary industry takes the raw materials and creates products for people to use Examples: Construction, Refining

Tertiary industry sells and uses the products made by secondary industry, or supports the families of primary and secondary industry workers Examples: Sobey’s, teachers

The Multiplier Effect One primary job sustains three other jobs at the secondary and tertiary levels. So, if a mine with 100 people closes, 400 people lose their jobs.
