Job Security

I think that the easiest job to keep would be an economist. Since this recession began two years ago, every project has been the opposite of what "economists" have said. I haven't been reading every report, but when media sources state "economists" predicted up, indicators have gone down, and vice versa. I am just a bit baffled by the opportunity to have a job based on predictions and being consistently wrong. Makes weather forecasters look good. The possibility for further destabilizing the weak economy is dangerous, and hurts the building trades when people are uncertain of the job market.
