Top Recession Proof Jobs/Careers for 2022 and Beyond


By Darrell DiZoglio, CPRW at http://RighteousResumes.com
 
Yes, we have hit new all-time highs in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ and S & P, so we are officially in our 12th consecutive year of a bull market after the March 2008 lows of the Financial Crisis. This is amazing, but it’s also due in part to quantitative easing (QA = the Fed’s term for unprecedented massive money printing), a huge reduction in corporate income tax, personal income tax cuts, official unemployment figures that were rigged for political gain and interest rates that were kept artificially low for the last nine years. However, we do have free markets where buyers buy and sellers sell of their own free will. Thus, this extended vacation from reality isn’t going to last much longer. Further, there is no doubt that when the stock markets and economy does revert to the mean it isn’t going to be pretty.
 
Yes the huge layoffs have already begun especially in telecommunications, call centers, customer service jobs (automation), cashiers (automation) and retail. It is with this in mind that I give you my guide to the best recession-proof careers.
