Actually, I think you listed them in the proper order for most-to-least recession proof with the possibility of swapping dentists and optometrists.
If you think people who are having tougher times economically aren’t going to cut back on glasses and dentist visits (especially if they no longer have insurance), I think you’d be flat out surprised. Further, look how much both of those cater to the cosmetic side of the business nowadays. If more people wear their glasses longer and go with silver fillings instead of composites (and a boat load of other “services”), you can bet optometrists and dentists are going to feel the squeeze.
And, who do you think is going to feel it first? The docs? Nope, they’ll let staffers go before they cut back on their lifestyles…
