The UK is headed in a prolonged recession the job market will invariably suffer but which industries/sectors are set to have a lot of openings and see some growth in the near term?

What careers or trades would be good to get into at this point?

  1. Anything essential.

    People will still need nurses, plumbers, electricians and IT support.

    They be less likely to need chefs, nail technicians and valet services.

  2. Plumbing, plasterer, electrician that sort of stuff will always be needed.

    Working at a funeral director is guaranteed work aswell.

    Care homes are another guaranteed option.

  3. Logistics. Will always be there as long as there food in the supermarkets and stock at amazon warehouses

  4. Casino. They get busier the worse the economy gets as people get desperate to make cash in other ways. Sad but true (I work in one and it’s gotten busier over the past year)

  5. Cyber Security. Skills shortage, high wages, plenty of jobs advertised and not gonna stop being needed any time soon.

  6. A trade. The tradees are already crazy busy and doing very well for themselves. When people can’t move they upgrade

  7. Can confirm electrician or any trade is good. Doing it atm and walking into jobs like mad compared to doing office jobs etc.

  8. Military.

    I joined in 2008 , during the economic downturn. There were people into their mid 30s joining up where I was 17. Might see a repeat of older recruits signing up. Which isn’t a bad thing!
