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 now!
