10 Recession-Proof Remote Jobs That Will Keep You Employed

ever wonder what most people are worried about right now it's not the usual stuff like deadlines or coffee after 6:00 p.m. it's the fear of economic uncertainty and what it means for their career and that's a shame but here's the thing some jobs actually grow during economic downturns and the best part is some of these you can actually do from anywhere so today I'm going to be sharing the 10 most Recession Proof remote jobs that are not just surviving they're thriving we're talking about roles where companies are desperately hiring jobs where your skills become more valuable during tough times not less now I know this sounds too good to be true but my team and I have done the research we spent countless hours diving into the Bureau of Labor Statistics data salary Trends online databases and real stories from people in these roles and some of these jobs are seeing growth rates of over 30% in the next decade and the best part is most of them start at six figures so if you're tired of worrying about job security hit that like button and let's dive into these Recession Proof careers number one is data scientist ever met someone who gets excited about spreadsheets well data scientists are like the cool kids of the spreadsheet world except they're making six figures working from home data scientists are the modern-day fortune tellers of business instead of crystal balls they use Python SQL and machine learning to predict everything from customer Behavior to market trends and here's what makes this role special companies are literally fighting over these people the Bureau of Labor Statistics or BLS projects a massive 36% growth in this field by the early 2030s and that's not just growth that's we're desperate for talent territory now let me share a real story from someone in the field a data scientist on Reddit went from making 24K as a grad student to 146k working remotely in just a few years but here's the most interesting part you don't need a PhD to break in another data scientist shared that their biggest tip after 4 years wasn't about complex math it was learning how to explain technical Concepts to non-technical people and during recessions companies need data scientists even more because when times get tough businesses need someone who can spot Trends and save money in the salary range we're talking 160 3 to $289,000 per year absolutely nuts now you might be thinking Shane this sounds great but you know I'm obviously not qualified for the job so it's basically a waste of time well there's a lot of more entrylevel jobs that involve data that you can get into for instance data analyst is a relatively entry-level job and many people are able to break into that without getting a college degree or having previous experience and one of the best ways to do that is with the Google data analyst professional certificate which I made an entire video about and you can check out the certificate Itself by clicking the link in the description and the pin comment below next is information security analyst and if you think cyber security is boring let me introduce you to the digital detectives of the corporate world these are the people who get paid to hack things legally of course and information security analysts are basically the immune system of the internet and just like we're never getting rid of viruses in the real world cyber threats aren't going anywhere either now let me break down some mind-blowing numbers for you the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows this field growing by 33% by the early 203 30s that's an additional 59,00 jobs in just 10 years and there's a lot of jobs that are relatively related to this job as well that aren't counted and here's where it gets interesting because let me share a story from someone in the trenches a security analyst recently shared how they work as a first responder for cyber attacks and instead of ambulances they're rushing to stop data breaches and they described how their heart starts racing when they discover a compromised account it's like being a digital detective piecing together how attacks happened and hunting down the bad guys so tell me in the comments if you like this career or any of the other ones on the list or if you think there's another career that you would rather I go over in these videos because I read the comments and there's a good chance I'll go over that one but here's the reality about this career path the starting salary is about 92,000 and the top end is around 148,000 per year and the best part is you can do this entire job from your home office and during economic downturns companies can't afford to cut Security in fact cyber attacks actually increase during recessions think about it when was the last time you heard a company say that they need less security it's pretty much never happened and with more companies going digital this field is only getting hotter next is a software developer and this one was really hyped hard for the last 10 years there was a basically an entire Niche on YouTube of people that were teaching other people how to either learn software development or get into software development and the truth is there is a lot of opportunities out there to get in but that also means there's a lot of people trying to get in right the whole learn to code campaign became a huge thing and millions and millions of people tried to become software developers and so a normal software developer job is very difficult to get at an entry level however if you Niche down which is what we'll talk about here in a moment it is much more likely that you will be able to get a software developer job because the Bureau of Labor Statistics still shows that there's currently 1.8 million software developers in the US and by the early 2030s they're going to be adding another 327,000 jobs and this shows a 17% increase but here's where it gets interesting a veteran developer recently broke down the reality of the industry most developers aren't building the next AI Revolution at Google they're making good money we're talking 82 to $143,000 a year working on essential business software and during recessions companies need developers more than ever because when budgets get tight automation becomes crucial and although there might be a bit of a layoff it's likely not going to be nearly as bad as most other Industries with that being said there are layoffs and in many cases and I know a lot of people don't want to hear this it was likely because they were not skilled Developers or they were trying to get a job that was already filled there was basically no demand and the entry level Market is crowded right everyone in their grandma is taking coding boot camps but here's the secret the real opportunity isn't at the entry level positions it's at the niche mid-level positions okay companies are still desperate for people who are midlevel skill when it comes to software development and so it's really important to specialize in things for instance there's a lot of opportunities in react there's also a lot of opportunities in learning any type of cloud related software right so if you combine coding skills with a little bit of cyber security skills or you combine coding skills with a little bit of cloud related skills like knowing AWS or gcp or azour right these are very common uh Cloud softwares then your skills are going to be massively in demand so I've made videos about this before uh if you're confused about which software development type skills to learn definitely check those videos out but there's still a ton of opportunity here especially for midlevel skills and of course if you're a very skilled software developer you're pretty much going to have people fighting over you all the time have you been applying to remote jobs for months with nothing to show for it remote job accelerator 2.0 gives you three essential tools you'll get resumé templates with

comment below to check it out or if you're watching this on TV you can scan the QR code right here next is operations research analyst ever wondered who makes sure your Amazon package arrives on time well meet the Wizards of efficiency the operations research analysts these are the people who solve problems you didn't even know existed so let me paint you a picture of what these folks actually do imagine trying to coordinate thousands of airline flights without any of them crashing into each other that's the kind of puzzle these analysts solve before breakfast and the numbers are pretty fascinating BLS shows a 23% growth rate in the next 10 years and when it comes to anecdotes a lot of people say good things as well for instance this person was an O analyst working in the Air Force and they shared how they went from checking boxes at the Pentagon to becoming a war gamer which is pretty cool and another analyst broke down why this field isn't going anywhere even as AI or machine learning grows o remains Irreplaceable for solving complex physical world problems and the salary is about 106 to $180 $9,000 a year right Logistics has been a massive problem for tens of thousands basically all of human history and it is still a huge problem to this day and as much as you try to automate things uh it basically just more problems pop up so there's always got to be people who make sure that stuff gets from point A to point B as efficiently as possible and there's actually some really hilarious videos from people who show just how incompetent you know Logistics and shipping industry is still to this day they'll put air tags and packages and show how like the package flies like all over the world 20 times before it gets to its destination so there is massive amounts of Need for people who are skilled in this industry still to this day and the people who literally optimize for a living can get paid really good money and you can do the job remotely and there's lots of opportunities for Airlines supermarkets military operations all kinds of different factories storage warehouses etc etc and these analysts are the secret weapon of every major organization now by the way guys if you're curious about how how I've grown this YouTube channel and how I make these videos so entertaining yet educational I am going to be hosting a live YouTube training on Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time where I basically just revealed the exact strategies that I used to grow my channel to multiple six figures per month so that's another free training for you all right number five is a statistician and statisticians are the only people who can tell you exactly how boring their job is but here's the plot twist they're also the people making 128k working in their pajamas so think of statistician as the professional MythBusters of the business world now I'll say right away for this type of position you have to be massively good at math but all kinds of different Industries hire people who are good at Stats because stats is one of the most useful types of mathematics and this statistician from a major pharmaceutical company broke down their typical day it's not just crunching numbers in Excel they're designing experiments that determine if new medicines actually work and the growth in this field is fascinating we're looking at an 11% increase in jobs in the next 10 years now here's what makes this career special these jobs are everywhere and I mean everywhere one statistician shared that they've seen positions at the FBI NASA even the forest service and the starting salary is 72k and the top end is around 128k per year and during recessions companies need statisticians even more to analyze risk and cut costs and here's a really cool part about being a statistician you get to be wrong 5% of the time and it's actually part of the job and with remote work becoming standard you can analyze data from anywhere in the world now another career that is similar to statistician and it's also very practical is actuary and for this one you also have to be massively good at math and you also have to pass some incredibly difficult exams but if you're able to get the accolades you can get access to some pretty chill jobs that also pay incredibly well and they're very stable and there's a lot of remote opportunities so BLS projects a 22% growth rate in the next 10 years and actuaries describe their work as less interesting but more stable and probably better work life balance so in this economy especially if there's a recession or something similar to a recession boring is great we want boring and stable and the salary range is $89 to $163,000 a year and that's for what some say is just 3 hours of real work per week and during recessions these folks become even more valuable because when everything is uncertain companies need someone who can calculate risk and the best part about being an actuary is you get paid to predict the future and if you're wrong it's probably because someone lived longer than expected and yes you can do this entire job remotely because apparently death and taxes wait for one but they can be calculated from anywhere next is a medical and health services manager and remember when Healthcare was just doctors and nurses well now it's especially in the US we've got entire virtual hospitals running from laptops and let me show you why Healthcare managers are the secret MVPs of modern medicine according to BLS this field is growing at 29% and over the next 10 years that is absolutely phenomenal and this manager went from running three mental health clinics to becoming a process Improvement specialist and they added a black belt in lean six Sigma to their toolkit and so this goes to show that there are many opportunities outside of just this job alone and the skill set transfers to many other things and what makes this role Recession Proof is first of all Healthcare is one of the most Recession Proof Industries people don't stop getting sick during economic downturns if anything more people get sick and the salary range is 71 to $124,000 a year and that's just a start and there's other jobs down the line where you can get paid a lot more and an experienced manager shared that they consistently get offers above 120k and of course A lot of it can be done remotely especially with the onset of telea health and during recessions Healthcare is one of the last Industries to feel the pinch because let's face it you can't Outsource a hospital next is a software QA analyst and this is a job where you need a little bit of coding skill but really what you're doing is just checking the quality so if you're the type of person who just notices problems all the time you're just you're like a grammar Nazi you always know notice spelling issues then this might be a really good position for you because that's literally going to be your job you're going to be doing quality assurance and quality control on other people's software or code now like I said usually you're going to have to know some sort of just like basic coding in some cases they'll actually you know make people QA analysts that don't really know much about coding and they just report their findings but it's extremely helpful if you know a little bit about code and it's projected over the next 10 years that they're going to be adding 327,000 jobs and a QA analyst compared their job to being a detective they said the more clues you find the better you are at your job and the pay range is$ 71 to $121,000 a year for essentially trying to break software all day uh try password that's the password we're in but here's what makes this career truly Recession Proof when companies cut budgets they can't afford software mistakes and an experienced QA engineer shared something interesting they said it's one of the best stepping stones into software development and the best part is you can test software from anywhere in the world think about it bugs don't care where you find them all right next one is logistician and this is another one of those positions that's all about logistics and they're the reason you can order something at midnight and have it by breakfast on your doorstep the next day these are the supply chain Wizards keeping the world moving and in 2025 they're doing it all from their home offices now the field itself is growing 19% over the next 10 years like think about it this is a field that's been growing like the last 10,000 years and it just won't stop growing it's just becoming more and more important and when companies need to cut costs who do they turn to the people who optimize everything now the starting salary here is 59,000 and top end is around 97,000 a year now by the way if you're wondering like how do I actually land these jobs I actually put together a free guide called Never job hunt again 30 days to a killer online presence for remote professionals and you can check that out by clicking the link down in the description and the pin comment below cuz it's going to show you exactly how to position yourself for these high paying remote roles because as useful as these videos are showing you a bunch of different options I want you to actually land the job so click the link in the description to grab your copy now back to logisticians let me share with you a a real story from someone in the field this person transitioned from customer service into Logistics with just an AA in music right so something that's completely unrelated and now they're coordinating entire Supply chains remotely another logistician shared how they went from entry level to six figures and they started at a 3pl company handling basic shipping and now they're managing multi-million dollar supply chains from home and this one is obviously Recession Proof because the supply chains can't shut down during a recession like that is absolutely essential and it has to keep going next is a computer and information research scientist and not only is it you know computer and information research which is basically data related but it's a bunch of different careers that's related to it basically any career that's related to data is going to fall under this category and the difference between a regular programmer and a computer scientist is that you know a regular programmer might build apps but the other one builds the future and these are the people making sure that planes don't fall out of the sky and no that's not an exaggeration let's look at what makes this role special according to BLS this is growing 26% over the next 10 years and here's the really interesting part a computer research scientist shared their experience they're not just writing code they're designing radar systems for aircraft we're talking serious life or death responsibility here and the salary starts at 92k and it goes up to 170k per year and that's actually just the beginning there's lots of other jobs they can go into that pay even better and your job is looking for technologies that could change everything think about it during recessions what do companies need most Innovation that gives them an edge and in many cases cases when recessions happen companies actually go into vacuum mode where they're trying to basically vacuum up all of the top talent if they happen to be let go at another company this seriously happens all the time especially in the tech world and the best part is you can do most of this work remotely now you might be wondering where can I find these jobs well I've got a video that's going to blow your mind it's going to help you with that exact problem click here to discover 10 work from home job
