Geodomain Shopping? 10 Cities Packed With Recession-Proof Jobs
What a month it’s been for me. After a nasty case of bronchitis followed by a fun case of sinusitis- neither pass quickly for an asthmatic- we made some big steps towards purchasing our first home. We’re having one built, which has been an exciting and scary process what with selecting materials and options.
On to some news!
Yahoo Hotjobs has posted their 10 great cities for salary growth. You know how I feel about these lists, and if not you can read about it here.
With the recession on, many have been watching the unemployment rate as an indicator on how bad it is, or how bad it is going to get. The article refers to the book “150 Recession-Proof Jobs” by Laurence Shatkin, who points out that health care, education, transportation and government jobs are industries that often remain healthy in a recession. This list consists of cities strong in said industries:
- Austin / Round Rock, TX
- Bakersfield, CA
- Charleston / Summerville, SC
- Huntsville, AL
- McAllen / Edinburg / Mission, TX
- Orlando / Kissimmee, FL
- Provo / Orem, UT
- Raleigh / Cary, NC
- Salt Lake City, UT
- Seattle / Tacoma / Bellevue, WA
If you caught the Top 100 Places to Live for 2008 by CNN Money (as well as my related post), you would notice that McAllen / Edinburg / Mission were ranked 11th in fastest job growth and Round Rock was the 7th overall best place to live.
As a domainer, the obvious way to capitalize on this is to plop the keyword “jobs” at the end of the city.com, or beginning- whichever your taste. But in general, lists like these will help you in your geodomain search. You never know what you will see at an auction or on a droplist.

Great to have you back! My body has been bouncing back and forth between healthy and sick.

LOL I just had to check if some were available with the word job at the end, but I knew it would’ve been too good to be true. False hope
***EDIT***
Thanks Sammy! Yea, the .coms are regged. But that doesn’t mean you won’t see them on the drop sometime! On the other hand, a few of the cityjobs.nets are available.
