Job loss was severe in the manufacturing and housing industries during the deep recession of 2008-2010. The service industry was also affected, but not as severely as manufacturing and housing. Education and healthcare were not the hardest hit industries. While productivity may have risen in manufacturing due to increased layoffs, this does not necessarily indicate that the industry was the least affected by the recession.
