Answer 1

Now I'm really worried about the quality of education in schools today. I'll give you credit as a student for questioning such an odd statement though.

For one the current President, nor can any President reclassify/re-define manufacturing--which is producing goods from raw materials.

For two making hamburgers would fall under the "service" part of the economy and then if split out again--under restaraunts.

Sectors are generally defined by the financial industry check out yahoo biz/ or forbes.

Answer 2

if you're paid for it, it's a job.
