I would suggest keeping a good relationship with your current employer and network of business contacts. If you do end up losing your job, a recession is a great time to go back to school for additional training or to get more certification. A short college program with a job placement can especially be helpful. At least, that's how I usually handle recessions. I'm trying to sync my training, so that it finishes at about the same time as the economy is improving.
