America's Endangered Jobs
Interesting career report I found thanks to my hotmail page.
By Chris Morgan, CareerBuilder.com Editor
While America's job outlook is healthy and many industries are projected to grow in the coming years, there are also signs that some occupations are becoming obsolete.
The majority of the decreases are in office and administrative support and production occupations, which are affected by the implementation of office technology that reduces the needs for these workers, changes in business practices, and escalating plant and factory automation. A majority of the job openings occurring in these occupations will arise not from job growth, but from the need to replace those transferring to other industries, retire or leave for other reasons
Here are some of the jobs expected to severely decline between now and 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Farmers and Ranchers
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 155,000
Why they're endangered: The long-term trend toward consolidation of farms into fewer and larger farms is expected to continue displacing small independent farmers. The average American is now also allergic to vegetables, forcing most independent farmers to grow vinyl or coal, which are typically low reward crops.
Sewing Machine Operators
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 93,000
Why they're endangered: I don’t know. Robots or something will do it instead.
Mail Clerks and Mail-Machine Operators
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 59,000
Why they're endangered: The demand for such clerks will be offset by the use of electronic communications technologies and private delivery companies.
Fluffers
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 48,000
Why they're endangered: Scientists are perfecting a synthetic vagina that straps onto a person’s waist sort of like a sex bucket held up by a belt. It is even better than a mouth.
Telemarketers
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 42,000
Why they're endangered: Telemarketers' employment will decrease as more people opt out of receiving telephone calls and as blocking technology improves. More people are also getting interested in regular cross country skieting instead of telemarketing.
Meter Readers
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 22,000
Why they're endangered: The way this country is currently run I wouldn’t doubt it if no one could afford electricity in 8 years. We’ll all be living in the woods eating centipedes and hunting squirrels with sharpened rocks so who cares about paying your water bill at that point.
Telephone Operators
How many jobs are in jeopardy: 14,000
Why they're endangered: Developments in communications technologies -- particularly voice recognition systems -- will continue to have a significant impact, and electronic communication through the Internet or e-mail provides alternatives to telephone communication and requires no operators. Luckily all these jobs will be lost in India. And Brown people aren’t as important as cream colored folks.
