Who makes up the knowledge sector?  There are 4 main occupation groups that can be remembered using the acronym TAPE:

T = Technology and R&D Innovation

A = Arts and Culture

P = Professional and Managerial

E = Educating and Training

The knowledge sector segment does not include the manufacturing or service work sectors.  But many of the workers in these segments are knowledge workers, so the Cape Fear Future initiative will look at occupations as opposed to industry segments.
