This was followed by food services (8.8%), construction (8.3%), architecture (7.2%), education (7.1%), therapy 6.3%, and marketing (6.1), among others, the report added.
The report noted that the relative resurgence of business normalcy in a post pandemic world has brought buoyancy back in sectors like construction and civil engineering.
