Jobs 2022

Cashiers

When you use the self-checkout line at your local grocery store, you are directly contributing to the demise of retail cashiers (sorry!). Even if cashiers are nice and helpful, scanning and bagging your own purchases and processing payment yourself demonstrates their inevitable obsolescence.

Operators of Computers

Although the IT industry is stable, the need for so-called computer operators—experts who specialize in diagnosing computer issues and systems—is decreasing.

Data Entry Operators

Computerization makes it easier for businesses to automate data entering operations that were formerly performed by individuals. If you work in this industry, now is an excellent time to consider your future steps.

Underwriters of insurance

Considerably of the work that insurance underwriters have historically done may now be done by software—and at a much quicker pace. One may argue that nothing surpasses the face-to-face interaction of dealing with one's own insurance agent, but the plain issue is that jobs are vanishing at a rapid pace.

Processors for photography labs

The introduction of digital photography has effectively eliminated this employment sector. Although specialist photo lab employment still exist, photo laboratories have mostly vanished since the majority of amateur photographers utilize digital cameras that do not need picture processing.

Experts in Social Media

This one could surprise you! Consider this: familiarity with social media is increasingly becoming a fundamental work requirement in many sectors. This necessity, along with the pervasiveness of social media in our daily lives, demonstrates how social media literacy correlates to a lesser demand for "specialists" in the sector.

Contact the Receptionists

Automated services have mostly supplanted people at both big and small businesses, so having a genuine live person on the line when you contact a firm might be surprising. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the trend is not slowing down.

Telemarketers

Telemarketing has been predicted to die slowly and gradually for a long time. Web-based marketing and television advertising are considered as the primary reasons, with automated "robo-calls" replacing many people.

Travel Consultants

Many of us utilize the strong technology at our disposal to make our own travel plans, putting many conventional travel agencies out of employment. Nonetheless, there is a continuous need for highly specialized travel consultants who can plan unconventional trips, particularly for customers on a tight budget.

Word Processing Software

According to a USA Today analysis, the number of word processors in the United States fell by 54% between 2002 and 2012, and the trend has only worsened since then. The work is becoming more outdated as a result of cutting-edge technology and computerized commercial transactions.
