  • This is a common topic, because so many people are looking right now. I'm not sure about which industries are recession proof, but I know that when I find a company that is hiring during a recession and has been around for decades, I feel much better with the prospect. American Income Life is hiring and you can work from home. It looks like you don't even need prior insurance experience, either. Check out their Facebook page @ AIL.Insurance.
