It's easier to list the career fields that aren't affected than those that are.

Here's a start:

1. ER doctors/nurses
2. Politicians
3. Teachers
4. Policemen
5. Firefighters
6. Garbage collectors
7. Manufacturing jobs of needed
commodities, such as toilet paper
8. Farmers
9. Utility workers (power company,etc)
10. Grocery store employees

What else?

I don't know. Let me go check the other threads that discuss the same thing and see what they say.

This has me doing less work and making more money. It's odd.

But i feel awful for the others and would rather this be over soon than later. Obviously.

None of them. Government is probably the most protected and they are going to get hit too. Hospitals have shite business right now believe it or not

Thus far the earthmoving heavy equipment sales, parts, and service business is still very strong.

That's why I just said "ER" doctors. Most other doctors are probably not doing a lot, like ophthalmologists, dentists, orthopedic,etc. and their staff.

Respiratory therapists. Right there on the front lines, but I’d imagine they could just about name their rate at a hospital in a big city.

3. Teachers
4. Policemen
5. Firefighters
6. Garbage collectors


All are paid / supported by tax payers
Loss of jobs / people holding on to their money will make a difference in city / local budgets
