'those employed in the finance business or concerns that don't give you confidence' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'it's popular' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it's' could be 'es' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'es' is located in the answer.
'popular' could be 'in' ('in' can mean trendy) and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' acts as a link.
