These are the fastest-shrinking jobs in all 50 states: Report

Job markets vary in states across the U.S. and depending on where you live, certain jobs may be disappearing faster than others, according to a recent study.

On Friday, SmartAsset published a report on what occupations are disappearing fastest in each state and Washington, D.C.

For its findings, the financial technology company used employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupation Employment Statistics, comparing data from 2015 to 2019, the report said.

Aside from its overall list by state, SmartAsset found which industries had the fastest-shrinking jobs in each state.

According to the report, the office and administrative support industry has seen the largest decline in 11 states and Washington, D.C. Some of the jobs in that industry include telephone operators, word processors and typists, proofreaders and copy markers, and statistical assistants, the report said.

In fact, the biggest drop in the administrative support industry was in Utah, according to SmartAsset. There was a 95 percent decrease in telephone operators in Utah in 2019 compared to 2015.

Meanwhile, jobs in the production industry -- such as gas plant operators, dental laboratory technicians and painting, coating and decorating workers -- were the fastest-shrinking jobs in eight states, according to SmartAsset.

Among jobs in the production industry, gas plant operators in Maryland saw the steepest decline, down 80 percent from 2015 to 2019, SmartAsset found.
