Map: The Most Common Job in Every State
- whacker 12y agoI did not expect any state to have /software developer/ as the most common job.
- bpowah 12y agoRight? Me too. Then it dawned on me: "Software Developer" is just the new "Secretary". Instead of guarding filing cabinets, you are managing a db. Instead of manning the front desk, you maintain the website.
- Gurkenmaster 12y ago>you maintain the website I think you mean interactive document.
- robodale 12y agoAs a Software Developer...this kind of scared me.
- xur17 12y agoIs anyone else scared by the prospect of self driving cars considering how prominent 'truck driver' is on that map?
- withdavidli 12y agoIn the same way how farmer was so prominent in the beginning of the visual? Technology will displace entire sets of fields. Maybe all truck drivers will become software engineers instead? Take away one option, pick another. I do forsee a lot of people picking eng fields over business degrees in the future. Comp Sci graduates have more options than biz admin / mba graduates from what I see, not only options toward swe but also pm, finance, consulting, etc.
- IndianAstronaut 12y agoThis has been happening for 200 years. The tractor must have been a scary thing to farmers of a hundred years ago. It was easily the biggest job killer in history. People have to learn and adapt to technology.

- lordbusiness 12y agoThis was the first thing to come to my mind too. That's a lot of people who are going to need re-skilling.
