What are some examples of diversity in the tertiary sector of an economy? HELP!?
Specifically the Nova Scotian economy, but it doesn't really matter.
Could I say things like: banks, theaters, shopping malls, public transportation, restaurants... ?
Those are all services and I guess they're diverse?
