Recession proof as majority of our contracts are either government or universities, two entities that will *never* run out of money.

Which is one of the reasons I am now in this field

Though, it's not really outsourced, the job is still on American soil. HB1 Visa perhaps?

I have a friend who works in the unemployment office. She has been working overtime and weekends for 4 months because the # of cases has gone up by 5x.

I applied for a new job, was called back in 8 hours, interviewed 48 hours later, hired an hour after the interview.

Not true since hospital budgets are also decreasing.

Maybe some limited places but not many...and not any around here. They are cutting non-patient care staff around here. Thats it.

[ModerateRepZero]

true, which is why he said RECESSION proof >_>

auctioneer
bill/debt collector
grocery store clerk (people still have to food SOMEWHERE)
pharmacist (unless you're buying all of your medicine online and making trips to Canada or Mexico, someone has to measure and dole out the medication)

Shoe repair.

I brought some shoes into a local shoe repair replace the other week and talked briefly with the owner. His business has been booming (mostly women's shoes). Apparently women are cutting back on new shoe purchases and repairing the ones they have.

Maybe in Canada where they value the education of the youth. Not in the the US. Cali is cutting education funding every year to balance the budget. Guess who's getting the pink slip. Young teachers w/ a progressive mind.
