‘recession Resistant’ Jobs in Worthing

‘Recession Resistant’ Jobs in Worthing Finally the word we all knew was coming has arrived, ‘Recession’. For the past few months the word has been carefully avoided but leading economists and even the Bank of England have finally admitted that recession is on its way. Not a huge surprise with many of the general public seeming to believe we are already in one. So it’s all doom and gloom now and no one’s job is safe right? Not so. Some of Worthing’s residents need not worry. Historically some jobs have proven to be ‘Recession Resistant’ but which jobs are they? Normally they are jobs in companies that provide goods and services that continue to be a necessity even as we tighten our belts. The sectors considered to be pretty safe include: • Education – Children do not stop growing as the market shrinks and will not stop needing an education. Worthing’s many schools, colleges and Universities including Worthing College are still keenly recruiting (see Worthing jobs for evidence of this). Educational establishments also need administrative, catering and other additional staff. Educational jobs in Worthing should remain secure. • Public Sector – Government is a obvious consistent during a recession. Our towns, cities and country must continue to go on providing services and making sure life carries on regardless. The Worthing Borough Council and The West Sussex County Council still need a large array of staff so public sector jobs in Worthing should beat the recession. • Security – Unfortunately, crime do not stop happening during a recession (in fact, although I can’t claim to know the statistics, there are obviously related monetary factors which could increase it!) We are lucky in Worthing to have a relatively low crime rate but we still require our protective services such The West Sussex Police. They also need their support staff so people with security jobs in Worthing have a lesser need to worry. • Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals – Illness and injury still happen during a recession. In Worthing it is fair to say that we have an aging population due perhaps to the quality of life we are lucky enough to receive here. Worthing Hospital workers, GPs, ambulance workers, nursing and care workers are still in demand so Healthcare jobs in Worthing should be quite safe. • Energy Firms – We might all become a little more aware of our power outgoings as part of our belt tightening but we continue to have a massive for gas and electricity and this is unlikely diminish. Worthing businesses and homes will still need Southern Electric, British Gas and the like to keep us going so those working for energy companies such as engineers and customer services in Worthing should consider their jobs secure. • Environmental Sector – In Worthing, as with every other city, our council seems committed to improving our ‘Greeness’. This is a sentiment also taken up by businesses and this is unlikely to be halted during the coming recession. There will still be a desire for ‘Green’ consultants and engineers in Worthing in the next few months. • Sales and Marketing – This is not a sector you might expect to be safe but historically and logically anything which makes or saves a company money is likely to be safe. It is somewhat dependant on the strategy and outlook of the business in particular but sales jobs and marketing jobs in Worthing may be safe. • Funeral Directors – My apologies for ending on a morbid note but to use the old saying ‘the only certainties in life are death and taxes’! Worried that your job may be at risk?
