Since the beginning of 2008 unemployment has hit a frightening high and just kept rising. People are often misguided into a false sense of security when it comes to the companies they work for and job security. Corporations of different sizes lay off thousands of workers each day during a recession, and those employees are often left without a backup plan for a very long time. The problem often stemmed from the fact that because of a company's  size and worth on paper, employees feel they are recession proof. In truth most corporations are not recession proof, and the first step they take to cut cost and increase profit is laying off workers.

Here is a list of near recession proof jobs that are generally more stable employment

Security guarding is definitely a recession proof job. It's the one thing you can fall back on when you lose your better paying professional job. I became a New York State certified security guard after I lost my job on September 11th. Then I lost my most recent job because of the recession and I still had security guard to fall back on. Don't hate or belittle security guards, it can pay some bills in a bad economy or unemployment.
