Thank God blogger isn’t on the list.
You will find more statistics at Statista
A long list of U.S. jobs are being rendered obsolete by technological advancements and automation. Which workers are most at risk? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, locomotive firer is the job set to shrink the most over the coming decade. A locomotive firer is responsible for monitoring instruments on trains as well as watching for signals and dragging equipment. The workforce is small, numbering 1,700 in 2014. By 2024, however, that is going to decrease even further to just 500, a decline of 70 percent.
Motor vehicle electionic equipment installers and repairers are also set to see their ranks decimated by 2024. 11,500 of them were employed in the U.S. in 2014 and a decade later, that is expected to fall sharply to 5,800. Telephone operators are the third most endangered profession in America with their numbers expected to drop 42.4 percent by 2024.
I remember the day that telephone operators ruled the roost!!
“What ever you do…. make sure you get the OK from the chief operator, BEFORE setting foot on the second floor!!” No males were allowed on the second floor without prior authorization!
Now operators are in an obscure place, in a corner, nobody wants to go to.
The second floor is now an empty space with the lights turned off……..
I know people have to eat and shop, goods have to be transported; cars and trucks built, sold, drink gas, and repaired but I expect much of that will slow to a crawl when most people are unemployed and the workers are being killed by taxes to support the FSA.

Thanks be to the Lord Big Rig owner operators were not on the list.I still owe 20 months more of payments at 2800 a month and the truck will be my truck. I hope and pray Bank of America doesn’t collapse before then.
Self-driving trucks. Coming soon.
For Kathy Griffin, all jobs, all future employment opportunities in ‘comedy’ and pretty much everything else in the public eye are over.
The media will drop her like a stone in a piss bucket and she will be largely forgotten by Wednesday afternoon.
I suggest Griffin acquires a set of Heavy Duty knee pads and soon. She will need them.
Kathy, I hope it was worth it – Get some counseling and keep the suicide hotline number close at all times. Your life as you knew it is over.
One Down, many more hopefully to come. Let’s explore if we can simply and quickly impeach members of Congress . . .
I Feel Good. . .
How’s walking a tight rope and getting a blow job from Kathy Griffin similar?
In neither case do you want to look down.
You made me feel better.
Wagon Wheel Tirers didn’t make the list. wtf?
The next big career: tattoo removal. Also known as sandblasting.
Postal Service Clerks… I don’t think anyone would notice.
Queue Llpoh to tell us the jobs are never coming back in 3…2…1…
Never coming back. Book it, Dano.
I would say that truth tellers among the mainstream media are a dying breed. Truth-tellers in the two-party oligarchy have never been very numerous, but their ranks seem to be diminishing too. Obviously those who LEAK the truth are ending up unemployed pretty quickly too (or found dead of a “botched robbery”).
This was one a a few machines I programmed, set-up and operated in the day.
Today, it is programmed by software, blueprints are digitized, CAD-CAM is seamless.
Automation will not stop. If you know about the technology today, it is already obsolete.
If I had to, (given the natural resources), I could design an engine that used an alcohol/petrol fuel, and cast the parts and machine the pieces , blah, blah.
But, so what?
There is a new wheel in town. What I used to do with my brain and hands, is now being done on a computer.
I am not a Luddite.
Nevertheless, the relationships people like HsF have with the land and animals… well, that’s a different tale.
I don’t want to go back to this, but I still have one of these:

This is just a taste of the future.
Accountants, lawyers, servers, etc. – all screwed.
