Judging from news broadcasts and newspaper headlines, the U.S. is slipping deeper and deeper into recession. It inevitably means increasing level of unemployment. If you have been redundant, you definitely don’t want to repeat this unpleasant experience. So, in times of the economic collapse, it makes sense to consider new job opportunities. Which professions can be the safest choice?
According to experts, the today’s recession is targeting all types of work. Some of the most affected sectors are: banking services, manufacturing, real estate, travel and tourism, retailing services and government service. The crisis also affected people in a semi-skilled job such as factory workers.
If you have a job in one of these industries, consider a career change. We have analyzed several in-demand job statistics to find sectors largely unscathed by the recession. They are still facing global competition and talent shortage.
• Health care
Our health is our 'everything'. Having a good health, you can go to work everyday, earn money, achieve your goals and enjoy life. Most people understand that without a healthy body they don’t have any earning potential. So no matter how bad is their financial situation, they save money and go to the doctor. Consider such jobs as physical therapist, physician, surgeon, dental hygienist or nurse.
• Accounting
The recession is not the reason to skip paying taxes! Vice versa, businesses need to be very accurate dealing with the IRS in order to avoid problems and penalties in future.
• Finances
Financial advisors or business analysts are the perfect example of the professionals whose services are more in demand in a downturn. They help companies maintain the desired balance of income and debts and comply with the tighter regulations that the financial crisis is bringing.
• Agriculture
You eat, right? Nobody can avoid buying meals, so agriculture will always remain the world's most important industry.
• Education
College professors and teachers are more necessary than ever. The recession has emphasized the importance of education, training, and professional development. That’s why many people will decide to expand their education.
• Computer science and information technology
Businesses and individuals are dependent on the Internet and computer systems. That’s why information technology specialists will remain necessary. Consider such jobs as computer systems analyst, network and computer systems administrator, software designer, database administrator, software program manager, etc.
• Security
This sector is very important all the time, but it is proved that crime rates tend to increase during uncertain economic times.
• Automotive repair
Statistics show the car sales have significantly dropped compared with the last couple of years. However, people won’t refuse to drive. Instead of purchasing cars, they will repair their existing vehicles.
• International Business
The global economy may weaken, but those businesses who work in the international markets will see increased demand for products and services.
If you don’t work in one of these sectors, don’t worry. If you are a highly skilled and experienced professional, the most recession-proof job is the one you already have. Just keep expanding your skills and education. It won’t help if your company undergoes massive layoffs, but it will protect you from casual culling.

I think that sooner or later WMT will realize their mistake as exchange business is one of the basis of the virtual economy. The exchange industry is a very strong one and it doesn't forgive the mistakes)))
Another high growth industry that is related to the ones you just stated are consumer banking, corporate banking, and other business accounting specialist positions. As both companies and individuals continue to tighten their wallets, their finances need to be managed and correctly accounted for. I graduated from SCI's 6 month program and easily entered a career in consumer banking, where the hours were reasonable and the compensation was high.
thanks this nice Article
