America's Endangered Jobs ( a must-read)

http://msn.careerbuilder.com/custom/msn/careeradvice/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=763&SiteId=cbmsn4763&sc_extcmp=JS_763_advice

Note how the author doesn't bother to tell anyone what isn't endangered or what's growing... (so why does the media also put in articles whining "Can America Stay on Top"?)

While America's job outlook is healthy and many industries are projected to grow in the coming years, there are also signs that some occupations are becoming obsolete.

The majority of the decreases are in office and administrative support and production occupations, which are affected by the implementation of office technology that reduces the needs for these workers, changes in business practices, and escalating plant and factory automation. A majority of the job openings occurring in these occupations will arise not from job growth, but from the need to replace those transferring to other industries, retire or leave for other reasons

Here are some of the jobs expected to severely decline between now and 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
