What is the tertiary industry?

The tertiary industry, also known as the tertiary industry, was first put forward by Fisher, a British economist and professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, in his book The Conflict between Security and Progress. Refers to other industries except agriculture, industry and construction. According to the opinions of the National Bureau of Statistics on the division of China's three industries in the Statistical Report on the Establishment of the Tertiary Industry forwarded by the General Office of the State Council, China's tertiary industry includes two major departments: circulation and service, which are divided into four levels: first, circulation: transportation, post and telecommunications, commercial catering, material supply and marketing and warehousing; Second, departments that serve production and life: finance, insurance, geological survey, real estate management, public utilities, residents' services, tourism, information consulting services and various technical services; The third is the departments that serve to improve the scientific and cultural level and the quality of residents: education, culture, radio, television, scientific research, health, sports and social welfare; Fourth, state organs, political party organs, social organizations, police, military, etc. But they are not included in the output value and gross national product of the tertiary industry in China. It can be seen that this tertiary industry is basically a service industry.
