The animated graphic from NPR shows how the economy has changed over time. Interesting how jobs have shifted from production to services and distribution. "Peak Secretary" seems to have occurred in the mid 80's.

    They seem to default to truck driver for long periods of times before there were any significant amount of truck traffic. Or roads.

    I don't know if you were alive in 1978, but there was, in fact, a significant amount of roads.

    Of course, they had to be rebuilt twice a year, after every dinosaur migration.
