My 2 cents.
It may not be the best idea to try and predict what the industry as a whole would do. My friend works for Sears US. While both the company and Retail in general are struggling, He is in a good position as he deals with Analytics and Forecasting.
I work in Telecom industry, for a client who has filed Chapter 11. Yet I am able to increase Revenue & Profit for my organization since I work in Network Transformation.
Point is, you (as a person, as a function / department) have to be critical to your organization. If you can position yourself post your MBA, you could find ample opportunities in the middle of overall negative industry outlook.
