Back 3

As you move through from the richest countries to the poorest countries there is a noticeable difference in the % of people working in each type of sector. E.g. the USA will have the majority of employees working in the tertiary and quaternary sector, with a few in the secondary sector and a tiny amount in the primary sector, this is the opposite for the poorer countries.
