We've received a lot of job news lately. Friday's job report massively beat expectations, and on that note, we gave you the 30 fastest-growing jobs in America.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics published it's employment projections for 2010 to 2020, which also includes a list of the 30 fastest declining occupations through 2020.
Most of the jobs require a high school diploma or less, and only three out of the 30 require prior work experience. Most of these positions have become obsolete due to fast-changing technology or high competition.
We ranked the jobs based on the projected number of positions that will be cut from 2010 to 2020. We also included the percentage decline during the same period as well as the typical education needed to get the job.
