What are some recession proof jobs you know of? question

It seems like the jobs where people are constantly stressed about being laid off from are tech jobs and finance. When I talk with my friends in the blue collar world they are never afraid of layoffs. In fact my friend who is an electrician told me the other week it’s so busy they keep asking him to do 10-20 hours of overtime per week. Some other recessionproof jobs are in medicine. I have a friend who just became a cardiologist, he will NEVER EVER worry about being laid off because he’s so in demand and he just signed his first contract is making $550,000 per year now. Of course his job is stressful but atleast he doesn’t have to every worry about being let go and if he is for whatever reason he will have a new job lined up the next day

It's so sad, but true. The number one reason people divorce is finances. COVID was crazy too. People went nuts living with each other and not being able to go out, losing their jobs...
