In a rocky economy, everyone wants a rock-solid career. And you don't need to trade salary for security. This new book uncovers the 150 most secure, good-paying jobs in good and bad times.

The detailed job descriptions give helpful facts on pay, growth, openings, tasks, skills needed, education and training required, work environment, job security, highest- and lowest-growth industries for the job, and fastest-growing metropolitan areas for the job. A special part explains how to recession-proof your career, how the information can help in both good and bad economic times, and the short-term and long-term outlook.
