Which industries are best in this economy?
Response Point digital service provider NGT, working with SMBNation, is conducting a survey of Microsoft Partners. The survey closes on Friday, December 19th, so hurry: you still have time to enter (and maybe win an iPod!).
Meanwhile, NGT shared with us some early results of their polling that I thought was interesting. Here’s how the first 300 respondents answered the question “What industries are you working with that do not appear to be impacted by today's economic downturn? “
- Medical industries 65.6%
- Education 23.4%
- Property management / rental management 22.1%
- Energy companies 11.0%
- Liquor stores or breweries ("recession-proof“) 10.4%
- Other fill-ins included: legal, accounting, “not all financial”, small community banks, software/hardware engineering, specialty manufacturing, government, professional services, food services (meat, dairy, cheese)
