    These individuals illegally exhumed bodies from graveyards and sold them to medical institutions.

    Criminal enterprise counts as a job?

    List includes both switchboard operators and switchboard managers. Where is the pin setter manager? The elevator operator manager?

    Projectionists were responsible for operating film projectors in movie theaters, ensuring that films were displayed correctly for audiences.

    Projectionist is still a job that exists even if the tools they use has changed.

    Typesetters still exist even if their tools have changed.

    Looking ahead, what other jobs might we see fade away as new technologies and trends emerge?

    I bet this article is clickbait for ‘AI is going to take jobs’.

      Ha ha, this one snagged me as well. Body-snatching declined because graveyards employed night watchmen (maybe that’s a job that disappeared?) and wealthy families had metal “mortsafes” built on fresh graves. The bodies of executed criminals had always been available for dissection, but demand outstripped supply.
