Manufacturing will fall. Retail will wobble. Automation will inch along but stay off the roads, for now. The rich will keep getting richer. And more and more of the country will be paid to take care of old people. That is the future of the labor market, according to the latest 10-year forecast from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
These 10-year-forecast reportsthe products of two years work from about 25 economists at the BLS document the governments best assessment of the fastest and slowest growing jobs of the future. On the decline are automatable work, like typists, and occupations threatened by changing consumer behavior, like clothing store cashiers, as more people shop online.
Are these economists Obamites or Trumpians? If this tax cut goes through, and deregulation proceeds, their gloomy forecast may go right out the window.
And all of my daughters is a nurse....she makes it 100%.
