Im sorry, but this list is very misleading. First, please dont preach the the “government needs to keep on going.” Clearly the state of CA is in a deep fiscal crisis which of course will trickle down to schools, hospitals and smaller government agencies. Since school districts depend on the state for nearly 90% of thier funding, your comment about teaching being a safe occupation is just plain wrong. If there is no money to pay teachers, teachers will get laid off. Plain and simple. The districts will be forced to increase class size, implement hiring freezes and lay off teachers-regardless of how well they perform. So optimism is nice-but not practical nor helpful in times like this. Its time to get real.

This article is overly optimistic. No industry is recession proof. It doesn’t matter how much workers may be needed if there is no money to pay for them. And three of the “recession proof” jobs listed above are being affected by the recession in a big way. International business is suffering, not just in the US; Microsoft is even laying off workers. Many educational institutions, local and state governments have hiring freezes in place and have cut funding to many services, including some on your list. Items 4 and 5 are two of the few industries where there is job growth going on.

I would also add a food industry to the list.. Regardless of recession people need to eat.. Companies such as Danon, Kraft etc. keep their profits pretty stable even at the hardest time.
