Healthcare isn't close to recession proof. The early to mid 1990s saw a massive recession in the field, where fear and uncertainty from proposed universal healthcare caused massive layoffs and highering freezes. My dad graduated from nursing school in 93...it took him 4 years to find a job in Pittsburgh, which has one of the largest healthcare systems in the world.

That Cleveland's healthcare sector is, well, healthy is a nod to the local industry.

I'm glad to see a another rustbelt city doing well. Way to go, Cleveland!
