Most Common Job in the USA By State





There is a great animated map over at NPR showing the most common job in each US state from 1978 to 2014 and showing how it changes from Farmers and Secretaries to Truck Drivers and Software Developers/Teachers. What is interesting from a Future of Employment discussion is that 1) in the white collar arena the big shift may have taken place (although I doubt it - interesting that customer service agent doesn’t appear) and that 2)  all those Truck Driver jobs could disappear in the next couple of decades.
