industry
When referring to factories and manufacturing, "industry" is often used as an uncountable noun. When referring to a specific business sector (like the film or music industry), it can be used both as a countable and uncountable noun. Using "industry" to mean hard work is quite formal and less common in everyday conversation than words like "diligence" or "hard work".
