Watching the early news on Newsnet Five sent me to the computer to google for more information. I caught the tail end of a snippet about the most stable or recession-proof jobs. Newsnet 5 listed accountants, mathematicians, computer jobs and parole officers. The first three are no surprise to me, and I suppose as long as people are in trouble there will always be a need for parole officers!
What do you think? Is your job fairly recession-proof? Kiplinger did a list of their own in March of 2008. They included working for the Federal government, being a math or science teacher or a bilingual teacher; police officers (maybe true but NE Ohio is proof that you may not necessarily keep your job when city budgets are tight even if you’re a police officer); jobs involving environmental issues; health care (and as I’ve posted before, always lots of health industry jobs on career board).
They say if you don’t have a four year degree, the hospitality and health care industries can be your most stable bet.
When I googled, I came up with a site called godlikeproductions. In their header they deal with things like UFO’s and conspiracy theories and what they call ‘the lunatic fringe.’ What does a site like this consider to be a stable career? Well they add mortician (yep, death does not care about recessions); utility company workers; soldiers (sad but true); plumbers (and if you get into the plumbing trade you could be lucky as Joe the Plumber was lucky and get offered a job covering the War In Iraq. lol); sex trade workers and auto mechanics are also on the list. Their list is a list of 21 so check it out.
Just some fun linking, I hope, for a snowy weekend. Peace Out – 3C
