Getting fired during recession as analyst at BB bank

I am a trading analyst at a Bulge Bracket investment bank and am concerned that there may be layoffs at my company following recent market activities.

I’m concerned whether my firm would be likely to lay-off analyst/junior level employees?  Or would it be more likely to lay-off more senior (and more expensive) employees?

What are your thoughts?  Do you think my job is safe?  Or should I be worried?
