12 jobs that are set to shrink over the next decade
New job projections show which may experience employment declines from 2025 to 2035, whether due to automation or another reason.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released projections indicating which jobs will see significant declines in demand from 2025 to 2035. Word processors and typists are expected to experience the most substantial decrease, with a projected 34% drop. Automation is cited as the primary reason for the job losses, as businesses increasingly utilize machine learning technologies and 3D printers to replace traditional typing methods.
Other jobs projected to decline include foundry mold and coremakers, as well as metal and plastic patternmakers, due to advancements in 3D printing technology. Telemarketers and mining roof bolters are also expected to see changes in demand, with telemarketers facing a decrease in share due to the growth of the Do Not Call registry and the shift towards digital marketing methods.
Overall, US employment is projected to grow by 3.5% over the decade, with the private healthcare and social assistance sector set to see the most significant expansion, accounting for 37% of the 5.9 million new jobs projected to be added to the US.
