    Human occupations can be classified into three main types: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary occupations involve directly interacting with nature, like agriculture, fishing, forestry, and mining. Secondary occupations involve manufacturing finished goods from raw materials through machinery, like textiles from cotton. Tertiary occupations provide services rather than producing goods, like transportation, banking, and communication. This classification helps with assessing economic development and planning human resources.
