BLS Projections Reveal 12 Jobs Facing Steepest Declines by 2035
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that 12 specific occupations will experience the largest percentage declines in employment between 2025 and 2035. Word processors and typists face the steepest drop at 34%, driven by machine learning automation. Other shrinking roles include telemarketers, order clerks, and mining roof bolters, with declines attributed to digital marketing shifts, 3D printing, and surface mining preferences. While overall US employment is expected to grow by 3.5%, the pace is slower than the previous decade, with healthcare and AI-related sectors absorbing most new roles.
