Layoffs across my industry, where did you pivot?

Three companies in Denver cut staff in the same month. There are 6 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Which areas are hiring?

Look at job postings to see which skills repeat, then fill the gap. That gave me a direction.

Talk to people in the field you are considering. Two coffee chats changed my mind about one option.
