Private ___ (part of the economy) (6)

I believe the answer is:

sector

(Other definitions for sector that I've seen before include "District" , "Distinct area or portion" , "A branch of enterprise" , "Part of a pie chart" , "A body of people who form part of society or economy" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
