stores to buy 'dry goods' were run by a family and couple workers, now those same number of workers run an whole walmart displacing dozens if not hundreds of workers.

meter readers are replaced by electronic monitoring

newspapers have a fraction of their glory days staff, radio stations are just a utility shed next to a broadcast tower with the programming done in NYC

military ain't hiring much now, they are starting to thin their ranks
