Yeah but if the population drops they will be less people to require your services, and less demand for you. Dentists see a marked drop in revenue in tough times. Although granted, the current shortage of professionals means that its going to see not much of a hit.

Looking at this list I'd lump Manufacturing, Trade, Finance, and Business Services into the O&G dependant category for a total of 63.5%. Health and Education would go into indirectly affected IMHO. Not exactly diversified.
