Curious what fields return what fractions of benefits / value / profits to what participants, and how you'd measure and classify those.
There's SIC / NAICS / ISIC codes, or tier classifications, ranging from three (Qesnay) to five (Clark (1940), Hatt and Foote (1953), and Bell (1973)):
[A]n economy's major sectors, as delineated by Clark (1940), Hatt and Foote (1953), and Bell (1973), correspond to major stages in the essential life process. The primary sector -- agriculture, fishing, lumber, mining, oil and gas -- represents the extraction of matter from the environment to produce energy, including the calories to sustain individual organisms. The secondary sector -- processing primary goods, as in construction and manufacturing -- represents the synthesis of matter and energy into more organized forms (negentropy). The tertiary sector, including transportation and utilities, represents the infrastructure for distributing matter and energy about the system, while the quaternary sector -- trade, finance, insurance, and real estate -- constitutes a parallel infrastructure for the collection, processing, and distribution of information that is necessary in all living system for the control of material flows. Finally, the "highest" of all sectors in its remove from the physical environment is the quinary sector, including government, law, and education, representing the societal programming -- socialization, education, law making -- and collective or representative decision making to effect control.

For participants, perhaps: unskilled labour, skilled labour, professionals, managers, finance, consumers?
