Interestingly, the industries you are suggesting would crash employ most of the people in all states and the ones you suggest would soar are not large employers (with the exception of oil/mining that might come back online).

Oil and mining actually might get wrecked as well if the US/China relationship gets worse as Chinese demand is so important to those industries globally. Its hard to tell what the equilibrium point in those markets would look like.
