Utilities. Agriculture/food production (a subset of the sector often called "Consumer Staples").

However, that information isn't very useful now. The difference is already priced in.


Funereal services. Food delivery. Residential utilities (until deep recession hits). TV (reruns at least). Gaming (in the short term).


Any industry that produces basic human needs such as basic foods and living supplies.


Bonafide needs, to the detriment of superfluous wants.
