Which industry is NOT listed as a common industry for labor trafficking?

• A. Agriculture
• B. Hospitality / food & beverage
• C. Telecommunications
• D. Factories

Answer: (C)

Labor trafficking patterns tend to show up in industries where workers are highly vulnerable, have limited protections, and where complex supply chains can hide coercive practices. Agriculture, hospitality (including hotels and food service), and factories are repeatedly highlighted as common sectors because workers in these areas are often migrant or low-wage laborers who can be subjected to recruitment debt, document confiscation, or threats. Telecommunications isn’t typically listed among the most common labor-trafficking sectors, even though isolated abuses could occur in specific subcontractor settings, it does not share the same pattern of widespread forced labor concerns as the other industries. So the industry not listed as a common labor-trafficking sector is Telecommunications.
