Geography anyone?

Question

Can anyone give me a website where I can find the statistics of Canadians working in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Industries for any given year besides 2001. The another website that gives the statistics of Australians working in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Industries for any given year, including 2001. 10 points!

Answer 1

For Canadian statistics, check out this link:

http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/econ40.htm?sdi=employment

This gives a breakdown of employment by industry for the years 2002-2006. You can group the specified industries into primary, secondary and tertiary categories to get the results you want. They already have a total for "Service-producing industries", which is basically the Tertiary Industry category, but Primary and Seconday industies are grouped together as "Goods-producing", so you'll have to do the totals for that yourself. It shouldn't be hard, there are only five industries listed in that category so there's not much work to do.

You should be able to find the Australian stats at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (http://www.abs.gov.au). Unfortunately I can't get to their site at the moment, so I can't pick out a particular page for you.
