I have a custom post type named 'industry', I tried to use get_post_type_object('industry')->labels->name to get the name but end up return empty value, what is wrong?

This is the registered post type:

// Register industry post type
function _ws_industry_post_type() {
  $labels = array(
    'name' => 'Industries',
    'singular_name' => 'Industry',
    'add_new_item' => 'Add New Industry',
    'edit_item' => 'Edit Industry',
    'new_item' => 'New Industry',

Try this code

$post = get_queried_object();
$postType = get_post_type_object(get_post_type($post));
if ($postType) {
    echo esc_html($postType->labels->singular_name);
}
