I'm currently on the job market, and one of the things on my mind is I'd like to pick a company that may survive the next economic collapse. All signs seem to point to an upcoming large correction to this bubble economy, and I'd hate to be laid off because of it.

Does anybody consider how "recession proof" their job may be? Any thoughts on what industries to look towards for better job security? Obviously a lot of startups and investor backed companies are probably not a safe bet.

Thoughts?
