Librarians, library assistants, and archivists listed on the 150 best recession-proof jobs list? Absurd. Libraries across the country are eliminating positions and enacting hiring freezes, and the field itself is undergoing a digital shift that requires fewer workers than ever before. Furthermore, librarians of a certain age are failing to retire, which ties up jobs that might otherwise become available. Few jobs, little growth potential - how are these some of the best recession-proof jobs? The fact that this book lists these jobs on several of its lists makes me question the veracity of any of its information. ( )

This book offers many lists of what they define as "recession proof jobs". They break it down by interest and field, and then offer a very comprehensive description of each job.

People looking for potential careers that may/may not have more stability than the average career would benefit from reading this.
