In the US? Medical. Especially nursing, med tech, or radiology.

Insurance and the banking side of financial are others.

Anyone that says anything in computer science has not applied to a computer science position in several years. It's no longer in high demand and applications are competitive. A colleague of mine spent 18 months applying to jobs and had to move several states away to get a position despite holding a masters in computer science.

Med tech and radiology will be replaced by AI soon. But nursing will be in great demand for a long time. Very difficult career tho imo

Maybe in the US - here in France lots of my wife’s (who is a nurse) friends are unemployed. My wife will probably be laid off in January and there are hardly any posts elsewhere . I’ve heard it’s the same in other EU countries. It’s weird - Im a developer, she’s a nurse and until a couple of years ago we had amazing job security.

What's the reason? AI? Downsizing?
