• Finance and Insurance - due to investments in the Energy industry as well as salaries enabling investments in other finance products.
• Retail Trade - Employees in energy are able to afford goods and services offered by retail trade thereby supporting the sector.
• Government - Huge taxes generated from energy sector jobs contribute to both the Federal and State governments.
• Agriculture - As is the case in other sectors, energy sector employees spend a lot on food which props up the agricultural sector.
• Construction - With the massive construction projects needed in the energy sector, the construction sector gains massively from interacting with the energy sector.
