#2 Postal Service Worker:  When was the last time you checked in to post office? Don't remember? Well that's been the issue some of these professionals like clerks, mail carriers, and mail sorters are facing in this industry. According to the Bureau of labor statistics workers in this profession will see their numbers dip by 28 percent from 2012 to 2022.



Why it's in crisis:  Nicole Cook, a career expert said, "Unfortunately, people don't go to the post office anymore."  "If they have to mail things, like checks, or bill pay, they do it electronically."

And this is the issue that is declining the numbers of postal service workers.
