Journalist: among worst 21st century jobs?

Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on October 25, 2007 at 9:42 AM
The latest projections of the US government rank being a journalist as one of the worst jobs for the 21st century, as newspapers cut costs and jobs.

 
Some other of the “worst jobs for the 21st century” include textile workers, file clerks and electric meter-checking guys.

But journalists will also have a hard time getting jobs, despite the increase in media outlets. According to the Labor Department, reporting positions are expected to grow by a mere 5% in the next decade, and most of these jobs are expected to be in small – low-paying – markets.

On the other hand, this projection is based on a relatively restrictive definition of journalists, which will probably evolve in the years to come.
