You can see a graph at 0:24 in the video to support this claim. Here are the reasons why our local market is recession-proof:

1. We have a diverse economy. We have many businesses in different industries such as tech, medical, oil, gas, agriculture, etc., which means the population has different sources of income.

2. Solid household financials. Our population generally has great educations and career paths with solid incomes and strong financials.
