The Bureau of Labor Statistics published new projection data this week, including the occupations with the largest projected drops in employment from 2023 to 2033. The fastest-shrinking job category is word processors and typists, which is projected to have employment tumble by 38% from 2023 to 2033, or a decline of 15,200 jobs.
While word processors and typists could see employment drop the quickest among occupations, cashiers could see the largest employment drop from 2023 to 2033. The BLS projected that this job would see employment drop by 353,100, or 10.6%.
The growth of e-commerce as well as advances in technology are expected to limit demand for sales workers leading to employment declines. Similarly, automated systems and related technology, including AI, are expected to contribute to declines in employment of office and administrative support workers.
