The job market is an elusive , forever shifting thing . Yet , for all that , as this function that takes us through the last 3 and a half ten of jobs in America show , there are some fascinating patterns — and one clear-cut choice for the single most common Book of Job in all of America right now .
The map is the study of Quoctrung Bui over at Planet Money , and it use Census data from the last 36 years to determine which single job in each country the magnanimous telephone number of its resident were work at . Looking at the function as it come on our own clock time , it ’s clear that hand truck number one wood is far forth the most common occupation to hold .
Why is that ? It ’s for a couple reasons , explains Bui . For one matter , it ’s a problem that defy any endeavour at outsourcing or automation , but just as important is how the Census Bureau classifies it :
The protuberance of truck driver is partially due to the way of life the government activity categorizes jobs . It collocate together all truck drivers and saving people , creating a very large category . Other jobs are split more fine ; for example , chief shoal teacher and secondary shoal instructor are in separate categories .
you’re able to see out the full list of job by class and get a closer feeling at the function over atNPR .
