What other industries are likely to collapse? I'm thinking tourism just because people are likely to have more important things to do. Anything that is mostly automated could probably chug along as long as a customer base still existed for it...

Also, the fact that there wasn’t an exodus of starships when the Asgardians were hiding from Hela in the mountain strongly suggests they had no way of leaving Asgard. And Loki’s arrival with the Statesman, proclaiming he was their savior, wouldn’t have had so much dramatic satisfaction for him if there had been other ships parked on the lawn.
Fair enough!
