Or opt for self-employment. Then you only have to build a diverse base of customers, with a product that lends itself to consumption/repeat orders.
I converted to full-time self-employed 22 years ago in July, and now only have to be concerned with being layed off by one custermor at a time.
With over 200 cliets and some with multiple buyers, I could lose 20% and not be hurting. Meanwhile, I'm adding 1 to 3 new clients almost every month, so should be able to weather the current economic cycle.
A brand new car manufacturer is starting up in Monroe, Louisiana, and will be employing approximately 1400 people. They could have more than 30 applying for each position.
The job skills you listed above could give applicants a leg up over those who just show up with no preparation or updated resume.

Something similar to DBeavers suggestion is contract work. Most shy away because it has a finite length of employment but if you have exhausted your efforts for full time employment this is an option. Some positions actually offer limited benefits. Extenstions and transfer to a full time position are possible.
Actually, while I am technically self-employed, I sell as a "Independent Agent" or contract sales person, drawing commission plus bonus. No sales = no income.
But, my business has provided quite well for my family, especially during the past 16 years that I have been with my present distributor.
Business-2-business can be more stable than direct sells to individuals. And with the right consumable product, a relatively small customer base can provide a lifetime of income.
Again, with no fear of a pink slip.
