Either way, crane operators is something that always going to be needed. They are needed in many places for ongoing maintenance of things, not just building things.
It's not just for tower cranes, its for any crane of 15 tonnes capacity or more.

I'm speaking just from my personal experience of 35 years as a construction tradesman but it seemed to me that any economic downturn would effect the construction industry first. That didn't necessarily mean that I was out of work (although it did at times) but I needed to be more flexible and willing to work anywhere.
I'm not saying not to go into the construction trades, it can be a great way of life but be aware of the pitfalls and plan for when things aren't so good.
