Question

What companies or fields were in good standing during the Great Depression?

Answer 1

Oil tools. Oil explorers. Howard Hughes made a mint.

Answer 2

Apparently ocean shipping companies. My father worked throughout the Great Depression as a merchant seaman. One firm had enough money in the till to send him from Germany to Argentina on the Graf Zeppelin to catch another of that firm's ships.

Answer 3

Bank robbers enjoyed the status of modern day Robin Hoods, and train robbers to a lesser extent- this time around, I believe the the robbers of oil companies will enjoy folk hero status.

Answer 4

One company that came out of the Depression, better than when they went in, was Nash Motors. It made up a part of what came to be known as  American Motors.

Answer 5

Health-care is the safest career for the next 30 years with the aging boomer population.
