Question: What Can I Do to Protect Myself From Unemployment?
Answer: Your best bet is to look at which industries are creating jobs, such as health care, and get training needed to enter that field.The Department of Labor provides the Career Guide to Industries for that purpose. Another useful tool is the Occupational Outlook Handbook which tells how to prepare for specific jobs, such as administration assistants, which go across different industries. If this is not possible, then continual training in your existing field is necessary, or consideration of additional streams of income from extra part-time work or home-based businesses might be worth looking into.
