I would say its more based on companies than industry. If the company is not profitable, has <6mo runway(startup) than it most likely will be one to avoid.

Big companies that make money, google, apple, etc will be fine. For medium sized companies if you involved in a unit that makes the company money or run core infrastructure you should also be fine. For smallish companies if they survive you better hope you are single point of failure and if you left things would be in a bad state.

Large companies have rounds of layoffs to trim the fat during the good times. This goes into overdrive during bad times.
