I believe there is no job recession proof.Banking and retail will suffer the most.Even trade job will suffer.I am a garbageman,but still have doubts of being recession proof.If business start to suffer and close down there want be any garbage to take away,or when on the residential side people eat less,less garbage mean less men needed.Their will be layoffs all around the board.Far as skill labor goes,most probably will try to fix the problems themselves or hire a skilled laborer on the side to save money.Tech will suffer also.

Hate to burst the bubble, but there is an abundance of radiology techs. The field is down in that arena. A lot of people who didn't want to go into nursing went into radiology. Nursing is wide open. A lot of medical transcription and coding is being off-shored.

Medicine isn't the huge haven of jobs that people think it is...it is very specialized, and if your specialty fills up, good luck.
