Title: Fastest Growing Jobs
Post by: Ben on October 21, 2020, 08:22:32 AM: I usually take polls like this with a grain of salt, but they got their numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, so they should be generally accurate. Anyway, interesting mix of jobs. I have to wonder if CA is due to people being cooped up with the beer virus. :laugh:

I was thinking virus related, but short term jobs through the election is a possibility as well.

WTH is a costume attendant anyway?

I see that is the fastest growing job in Iowa also, I'm going to guess with all the insurance businesses located in Iowa.

No offense to the theater costumers here.

And to think she could have gotten a degree in Medieval French Poetry or Gender, Ethnic, and Womyn's Studies instead!

Nope, this was back in the 1970s when there were real courses of study. Old school ! :old:
