Answer 1

Primary economic activities made up the largest share of the U.S. economy around 1890. During that time, a significant portion of the workforce was engaged in agriculture, mining, and other primary sectors. Over time, as the economy evolved, the share of primary activities decreased significantly in favor of industrial and service sectors.
