Not so much that the jobs are inherently similar. It's more that, during the last recession roughly 15 years ago, and IIRC actually the past several recessions, there were a lot of ads for truck-driving schools in the media. The idea is that trucking is supposed to be a recession-proof trade, and whether that idea is true or not, it's good for trucking schools if people believe that. The parallels to coding, bootcamps, etc. are clear.
Gotcha, thanks for clarifying - it's about the Utility of the lines of work.
I personally feel better about thinking of these lines of works as "very important to maintaining the status quo" rather than "recession-proof" but it's basically the same thing
