We haven't felt any of the sting from recession in the entertainment industry. 40 plus million tourist from all over the globe means our money pours in regardless of what happens with the US economy. Projects city center and Echelon (the largest independantly funded construction projects in american history) are still on pace to be done by 2010, and since i'm in good company with the execs from my company, it's fair to say my job and wealthy security is more air tight then a vaccum chamber.
when i hear these comments i know that it is time to run (not walk) away from a place or sector. nothing is air tight when it comes to money. i would put my money on macau over vegas.PRMoon said:

I work for MGM Mirage smart guy. If I wanted to transfer to the Macau property I could. Still, You don't know what you're talking about. We don't build multi billion dollar properties because we're going to lose money. Our corp sector keeps us in the black year round.aldaris said:

No job is 'recession' proof. However, a person CAN be.
Someone may say...'technology isn't recession proof.'
Not true. While gf's father has been laid off, as a top-ranking Director/VP at the IT level, he grabs a new job quickly, and makes enough money that he has stockpiled funds to hold him over. He would be laid off or have a division whacked, and grab a new job making more, simply because "there's fewer jobs at the top."
If anything, GOOD accountants/lawyers/doctors are recession proof. Will they see a decline in income/clients, as GOOD as they might be? Sure. Even if you're making big money, when times fall hard, a good portion of anyone's client base CAN be subject to those people who become penny pinchers and do irrational things. Those who prepare and plan, won't suffer a pull back, though.
Listen to Jim Rohn on this or ready "Four Hour Work Week." Even in 4 hour work week, the author points out how empy it is at the top and how there's little jockeying for positions when compared to middle class and lower class levels.
People who see to find a cushy job get lulled into a false sense of security and don't grow.

These are why vegas will never be topped as a destination.
Just two companies building properties at a combined value of 13.2 billion dollars...nothing new here.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned nursing--not the manliest of jobs but you'll always be able to find one.
