Jobs that won't fare well during hard times:
Personal Fitness Trainer
Reason: People will be walking six or more miles a day. We won't need the gym to get exercise. We will not need a "cheer-leader" to motivate us.
Exception: Massage specialists. There will be boatloads of people with sore muscles.
Internet Influencers
Internet Influencers exist to goad people in to spending more and consuming resources that the viewer didn't know existed. The tide will be running in the opposite direction during hard-times.
Event Planners
Events to commemorate rites-of-passage in our lives will no longer be a competitive sport. Weddings might be a handful of friends and a few family members from each side. Graduation parties might be playing disc golf in the park.
Lawncare specialists
Large lawns that are professionally cared-for are a historical anomaly. Some of the lawns will likely be turned into gardens or orchards. Some will be abandoned and allowed to revert back to native scrub or prairie.
Please feel free to add to the list.
Office staff and manf labor also would be hit. Coffee shops and restaurants will tighten their belts or reduce locations. Small mom n pop stores are more at risk unless they are in specific areas like second hand resale.
