Traditionally, most of Iraq's manufacturing activity has been closely connected to the oil industry. The major industries in that category have been petroleum refining and the manufacturing of chemicals and fertilizers. Industry represents 40,6% of the total GDP (with 18,7% of the workforce), whereas services sector accounts for 54,6% (with 59,8% of the workforce).
