Parents who work always need child care services, so this industry will always grow.

Despite the recession, many remain motivated to pursue their careers and seek help in caring for their young children. With an assessment of $54.3 billion in 2019, the child care industry is expected to continue to grow at an annual rate (CAGR) of 3.9 percent from 2020 to 2027.

Food and Beverage Business

People have their own way of dealing with the recession. Interestingly, comfortable foods and drinks are key to staying optimistic and motivated for some people.

That's why the food and beverage industry remains tough despite the pandemic in 2020.

Those who do not have the power to fulfill many orders can promote their delicious ingredients among neighbors, friends, and family for additional money. You can even start an automatic selling machine business to satisfy people's desires while they're on the way.
