What do you feel are some industries that are affected by the economy (United States)?

I think one of the biggest industries that are affected by the economy would be travel...places like Florida could possibly fall into financial ruin if the economy falls to a point where people don't have the money to go on vacation.

there are three 'industries' that will never lack for business: gambling, prostitution, and anything involve in alcohol. these three things are considered even greater than most other things needed. in most cases those things are going to prosper even if people cannot afford food. you only have to notice how social workers search the projects.

i think also shopping as a relaxation (designer clothes and the like) is greatly affected by how much money is availabe among the general public

From the years 2001-2005, the manufacturing sector and the information sector have been impacted the greatest. The manufacturing sector lost over 13 percent of jobs during that period, while the information sector lost over 15 percent.

high gas prices effects everything, people dont travel as much, the price of airline tickets and so on are up, the prices of everything you buy are raised due to shipping prices raised over fuel costs. People dont buy as many cars, and they might be trying to sell larger suv's and trucks to get smaller cars. the interest rates are going up so housing starts are down as that raises the price of buying a home. heating, cooling, lights, are all more expensive. simply everything is effected in some way.

Tourism, gas,ya know, basically everything in price has been going up due to the economy.

All of them.

I can't think of any that aren't

every last one
