Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? - any advice?

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a warehouse supervisor. It has been a long 22 weeks. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. How did you choose?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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