150 Best Recession-Proof Jobs

For the past several months, I’ve had a hard time picking selections for the Color of Money Book Club.

Many of the books stacked against the wall in my office were written before what I call the Great Millennium Meltdown. Although some forecast trouble ahead, much of the financial advice lacks today’s context. That’s not a criticism. Nobody knew how bad things would get.

So as I began looking for a selection for November, I searched for a book that I thought could truly be helpful to a lot of people trying to make ends meet. This is what I found: "150 Best Recession-Proof Jobs" http://www.amazon.com/Best-Recession-Proof-Jobs-Laurence-Shatkin/dp/1593576234 (Jist Publishing, $16.95).
