Under the old definitions (not used much I think)
Primary occupations produced product - farmers, blacksmiths, miners, assembly line workers, etc.
Secondary occupations provided distribution of goods - warehousing, transportation, sales.
Tertiary occupations provided services unrelated directly to goods - management, accounting, advertising, etc.
Part of this tricotomy is based on Marxist economic theory that the only value of work is provided by people who produce product and everyone else is a leech on the working man.

It denotes a chain of snobbery of sorts. "I look up to HIM! And I look down on HIM!"
