If you are searching for employment in Kenya there are sectors which can absorb you as quick as possible while other sectors have few job opportunities. Employment opportunities depend on profitability of companies in specific sectors and how the products produced by the sectors are consumed by the masses. Due to market dynamics, some sectors have stagnated in terms of profitability, forcing companies in that line to reduce work force. Other sectors, on the other hand, are booming, especially those dealing with sports betting.
One of the many secrets of job search involve being able to identify areas where there are plenty of opportunities. In this regard, we are going to pin point such areas, which include:
- Sports betting companies
