Recession Resistant Careers
In a recent CNN opinion research poll of voters nationwide, the top
three issues on voters’ minds are the economy, the situation in Iraq,
and gasoline prices. So in a failing economy with increasing energy
costs and great national investment in the war, where does a job
seeker look for stability?
Some industries are continually vulnerable during a recession such
as retail, manufacturing, finance and technology, but some
industries seem "recession-resistant," based on different trends at
the time of the slowdown.
Look for the opportunities. Most employers are cautious so expect a
slower, yet steady hiring environment.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that only those with industry-
specific skills will be in demand. Hospitals not only need nurses
and physical therapists, they need administrators, marketers and
information technology workers.
Middle and high school math and science teachers continue to be in
demand. Other hard-to-fill positions in the education field include
special education and English Language Learner teachers, along
with administrators, school counselors, and teacher aides.
The need for national and cyber security is booming. Bank-card
merchants must comply with increasing federal regulations, state
privacy legislation, and industry standards. Security failures can be
very painful for businesses; the theft of customers' personal data
can result in lawsuits and nightmarish PR.
Renewable-energy manufacturing projects (such as solar and wind
turbine) are creating new jobs. Environmental engineers are in
demand because of crumbling infrastructures and climate change
resulting in floods and droughts that need solutions.
Due to a fast paced American culture, eating and drinking
establishments continue to grow and a high rate of turnover is a
problem for restaurant owners. These jobs cannot be outsourced
and serve as an opportunity for job seekers.
Many healthcare services are essential. Patient care can’t be
outsourced. The aging US population ensures a continued heavy
demand.
So don’t let a downturn in the economy mean an abysmal turn in
your career search. Be smart about seeking opportunities. Start
