#2. Manufacturing Assembly Jobs:



The workforce in this line of work has tumbled to its lowest level on record. The demise of this profession can be blamed on everything from globalization and technological advances to the subsequent productivity improvements that have reduced the need for these workers. Also the outlook of the profession seems to inspire little confidence over the future and is expected to remain the same over the next decade. Moreover, the automation of repetitive tasks performed by these professionals is bound to have an impact on the employment opportunities in this line of work.
