The tradable sector of a country's economy is made up of the industry sectors whose output in terms of goods and services are traded internationally, or could be traded internationally given a plausible variation in relative prices.
[1] Tradable jobs can be performed by individuals outside a country: manufacturing, consulting, engineering, finance.
Non-tradable jobs can realistically only be performed by domestic workforce: government, health care, hospitality, food service, education, retail, and construction.
Mining and manufacturing accounted for 18.3% and 61.4%, respectively, of the tradable sector.
