Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? - first time posting

Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a nurse's aide. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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