obviously doctors and hospital admins are needed. next year when f.d.a. clears vaccines for use whatever corporations are involved in their fabrication stocks would go up.
whatever metro has the most m.d.'s and b.s.'s per capita will be self sufficient.
Dallas’ economy is very diverse and isn’t oil dependent. A downturn in the oil industry wouldn’t really hurt Dallas at all.
Maybe compared to Houston, but on the whole, Dallas's does not have a particularly diverse economy.
In regards to the question posed, I would say Minneapolis, Chicago and Boston/NYC/DC.
I would absolutely not bet on SF and Seattle doing well - they are home to a lot of unprofitable tech companies that are bleeding cash and are highly dependent on venture capital. That unsustainable cash-flow will absolutely dry up during a recession and you will see a lot of these companies falling off.
Airbnb and Uber in particular I'm quite worried about.
Dallas has American Airlines and some Oil and Gas so that’s going to be tough for them.
Atlanta’s economy consists of much more than Delta even though Delta is one of the largest employers in the metro. I do think that some of Atlanta’s other main industries like transportation/logistics, retail, etc. will face some challenges; however, Atlanta will still have a very diverse economy and I think it will fare better than in the past recession.

Oil and Gas is the second largest economic sector in DFW. That industry is the reason it wasn't hurt as bad as somewhere like Atlanta during the last recession (and why Houston was booming then).
I think we found out the answer to this during the Great Recession: DC.
Assuming that the United States still exists. That city will be the most war torn in North America after an insurrection/invasion.

Atlanta has began to recover from the Great Recession within the past couple of years. The population has remained stagnant for the entire decade compared to the two major Texas metros. Peninsular Florida has enjoyed a surge of popularity; not good for Atlanta being in the same region!
