Healthcare for now. Until a Bernie type gets elected. That’s the “black swan” of jobs in medicine.

My company provides and maintains software and equipment for hospitals and the health care industry. Had a meeting yesterday and all non-essential staff has been sent home and those who can work remotely to work from home. My department has more work than we can handle.

I work for a subsidiary of Ecolab. We’ll be open through this entire thing. I feel our products will even become in higher demand after this. Already upped the amount of every paycheck I buy company stock. Only thing hurting is some of our parts come from China and the supply got disrupted.

As an RN, I worked 21 days straight at East Jefferson hospital during Katrina and now with corona, there’s no slowing down at the hospice I currently work for.

Nursing has been a pretty stable field as far as “essential personnel” demand during catastrophes.

CPAs. We've had no work stoppage.


Not yet, but I have a feeling that they are going to try and force us to close soon and work from home.

As for the future, it depends on how long this lasts. I know I will have a few clients who who won’t survive what has already happened. If this lasts 4-6 weeks, it will be more. 6+ weeks and I will be looking to join the local militia.

Yeah, we're pretty much at the mercy of the clients when it comes to getting information for audits. Tax department seems like it will be fine.

Seriously, candy makers like M&Ms.
Typically these are recession proof commodities

Grocery, convenience, and drug stores, especially the supply chain behind them. Suppliers/distributors for those stores whether it's water, chips, soda, alcohol, etc. We're still seeing the hit to on premise business, but off premise is busier than ever.
