Newspaper Reporter Anyone? Anyone? Please?
Being a newspaper reporter used to be one of the most admired professions in the US. Those were the days.
Today, it can hardly sink any deeper in this list of the most, and least, sought after jobs in the US published by CareerCast.com, a job search portal.
To find newspaper reporter out of 200 professional activities, you will have to go all the way down to the 184th position.
The worst crisis in the history of the US newspaper industry is taking a heavy toll, so heavy the following jobs ranked better or much better than the trade that brought glory to the likes of Watergate heroes Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein:
Janitor (83), sewage plant operator (117), maid (131), dishwasher (156) and nuclear plant decontamination technician (165).
Newspaper reporter, on the other hand, beat stevedore (185), butcher (190), garbage collector (195) and number 200 in the ranking, roustabout, a temporary laborer who performs unskilled work.
Newspaper reporter also ranked better than photojournalist (189) but much worse than newscaster (95).
The portal used the following criteria to complete its list: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands and stress.
Very depressing.
