As Gary North has pointed out, mid-level
employees are usually dispensable, and often get the ax during a recession.
How can you avoid the ax?
By starting your own "industry expert" blog site -- yet another of the many ways having your own blog can help you.
Almost no one else will do this. You will become viewed as a leader in your industry. Or focus very specifically on what your company does, and become the undisputed leader in your niche.
No one in his right mind is going to give an industry leader a pink slip.
Dr. North recommends: start by summarizing relevant articles, with a link to each article.
Move on to book reviews.
Then, eventually, your own original content.
No one else will do this. That's because almost no one ever takes action. You will.
First step: get web hosting.

P.S. Sqribble, that neat automated eBook creator I told you about recently, is on a Black Friday weekend sale, too (use coupon code BLACK). If you want to create attractive reports and eBooks quickly, or get an unfair advantage as a freelancer performing these tasks for clients, you should definitely take a look: http://www.happyearner.com/sqribble
