Government Job needs a taxpayer
Welder needs a steel supplier/Fuel Mortician needs a casket burial/plot sale Soldier needs a war Hairdresser needs to sell coloring/perms Dr/Nurse needs Insured customer Teacher needs a homeowner Nothing is safe Stiff Tariffs on Imports / Profit sharing businesses / Out the unions / Taking off the leashes of those who make money would be a great start We only need an American Economy |

I would think garbage collector would be a pretty recession proof job. Unless you like in Napels  it seems like garbage collection is something that nobody wants local government to "cut" even when the economy is bad.
The liquor industry has to be pretty recession-proof, since some people seem to drink MORE during a recession. 
I wonder if car repair is pretty recession proof. During the good times, people are good about getting regular scheduled maintenance done, and during the bad times, people keep their old cars longer instead of buying new cars, necessitating larger repairs. You're on a Real Roll of Random thoughts today?? Yes I'm Calling you Out!! Get a "Real Job" Please!!

booze and sex are two fairly recession-proof industries. people partake in them when times are good as a form of celebration. people partake in them when times are bad to forget their troubles. |

anybody ever figured up how much a barber or hair dresser makes?
the lady I go to is $10 for a hair cut ten minutes a person thats $60 a hour how much does the shop and all that cost her? no idea but it seems like decent money and her job is more secure than mine... 
if I won the lottery a old style barber shop with traditional shaves and cigars would be my play business I dont want to cut hair or shave anybody but I do want to sit in a antique barber chair and smoke cigars and bs all day lol |

Read the title and immediately though she was a hooker. Needless to say I am very disappointed. Glad to see I'm not the only sick person here. Although I wouldn't entirely say it's recession-proof. I'll go without getting a haircut if I'm broke. |

I haven't been to a barber since 9th grade. I've been cutting my hair since then and I'm 37. I cut my son,brother and times my Dad's hair.
I know some women that are starting to do their own hair also... |

$30 about two years ago and haven't paid a dime since. I figure I've saved $240 since I got them and getting my hair cut is much more convenient. Barbers will be hurt well before hairdressers.

...at dinner. What's the profession, you ask? Hairdresser. That's funny. When I was unemployed, I didn't get my hair cut as often and even started cutting it myself. I'd keep cutting it myself now that I'm employed again, but it's a lot of work in the shower, makes a huge mess, and you can't always be quite as sure if you got every last piece of hair trimmed. |

I find it hilarious that in a thread about hairdressers, guys are posting how much they save by cutting thier own hair.
Salons don't make their money on cavemen getting a clipper job. 
Colors, highlights, lowlights, perms and straighteners, the money is in the chemicals, gentleman. |

This is what I do... Two of my friends still go to the same barber I used too and they say he been complaining about it slowing down a lot... People are waiting a lot longer between cuts or doing it themselves...
Quoted:
Maybe, but my barber said people choose to go longer between haircuts when times are tough so I wouldnt call it completely recession proof. Or they do like I do and start taking the #2 guard to themselves and spend 0 on hair. Been doing it myself as of a year and a half ago. Cheaper, and easier, just to buzz it, myself. |

mortician are the only two recession proof professions i can think of. A good family friend is a funeral director. He worked for one facility but it closed down. I think he just floats from funeral home to funeral home to see what needs to be done(driving hearses, setting up arrangements, he's been known to sit in on an embalming or two.) If it got too much for me to pay $15 to get my hair cut at the same person I've been going to for YEARS, I'd get a replacement blade for my trimmer and do it myself or have a friend or family member do it. |

If the woman has an established clientele, she'll do OK.
Women, and some men, can skip some hair cuts but won't stop altogether unless its some kind of Mad Max SHTF. Everybody feels good after a haircut.  |

Repo guys are also pretty recession proof.
However when the banks and financial institutions collapse, they will no longer be employed, and likely taking up a stool at the local bar
