Answer to Question 1

Answers might mention continents or developed vs. undeveloped in contrast to the textbook.

Answer to Question 2

Sectoral transformation refers to the evolution of a nation's labor force from one dependent on the primary sector, to one with more employment in the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary sectors. North America has exhibited significant changes in employment. Initially most workers in North America were in the primary sector; from the late 1800s onwards many more workers found employment in the secondary sector. Throughout the 20th century there has been a further transformation, as work in the secondary sector has declined, while employment in the tertiary and quaternary sectors has increased.
