==Description==
'''Industry''' refers to the production of an [[economic]] good (either [[material]] or a [[service]]) within an [[economy]]. There are four key industrial [[economic]] sectors: the primary sector, largely raw [[material]] extraction industries such as mining and farming; the secondary sector, involving refining, construction, and [[manufacturing]]; the tertiary sector, which deals with [[services]] (such as [[law]] and [[medicine]]) and [[distribution]] of [[manufactured]] goods; and the quaternary sector, a [[relatively]] new [[type]] of [[knowledge]] industry focusing on technological [[research]], [[design]] and [[development]] such as computer programming, and biochemistry. A fifth, quinary, sector has been proposed [[encompassing]] nonprofit [[activities]]. The economy is also broadly separated into [[public]] sector and [[private]] sector, with industry generally categorized as [[private]]. Industries are also any [[business]] or [[manufacturing]].
