I'm betting there are some industries that are doing bumper business, and usually see a peak in a recession.

For some industries/products, the recession is great news I'm sure.

There's always exceptions. Some law firms essentially specialize in suing companies during a recession. Short sellers and proprietary trading firms are also doing well especially if they longed volatility. The other 99% of the states (world?) is struggling.
