It shares many in common with this list from 2010 https://www.mainstreet.com/article/20-jobs-have-disappeared/page/3 https://www.mainstreet.com/article/20-jobs-have-disappeared/... with 20 jobs that have disappeared. In any case, it's wrong, in that while rare, some of those jobs still exist. As people in the comments have commented.
