IT WAS ONLY a matter of time before the turmoil hitting the credit markets and housing industry started to take its toll on hiring.

During the first quarter, more than 200,000 workers were handed pink slips, according to a survey by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Among the hardest hit industries, the financial and retail sectors shed 26,719 and 16,608 jobs, respectively. The rockiest region was the West/Southwest with California losing a total of 22,866 positions.

Not all professions are prone to pink slips. Here are some fields that are hiring.
