Maybe only education, healthcare, law, and military that seems somehow safe now.
You know, reading the article, I think we’re just fucking headed for a depression at this point.
History rhymes, but it doesn’t repeat. Yet, it rhymes quite fucking well. 100 years ago a Republican led US did dumb fuck tariff maneuvers and caused a depression.
We might not have a dust bowl, but we’ll have weird climate shit. We might not have “slums”, but we’ll have tent cities. We might not have WW1, but we might have WW3.
Construction, manufacturing, and other related industries are already experiencing rapidly slowing demand. Tarrifs and the Iran war made a huge dent there. As soon as the “big shot” investors finally realize that they’re going to get nothing more from the AI craze, they’re going to bail and the collapse will be fast and furious.
Vital living infrastructure isn’t going anywhere: stuff like plumbing or electrical construction, repair and maintenance, whether on a single family home scale, apartments, hotels, or municipal.
Military is too unstable with the frequent government shutdowns. You would have to be part of something that is mission critical avoid inconsistencies.
Also agriculture if you’re in an area that’s been (formerly) too cold or dry for it.
healthcare
Lots of rural healthcare systems in the US have been circling the drain for years at this point so YMMV.

Education hasnt been safe for decades because it pays miserably and burns out tons of workers.
