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.

    I don't know why it would be surprising that it would be one of the most common jobs.
     
    Washington State has the 9'th AND the 4'th busiest port in the US! (Seattle and Tacoma)
     
        Of course there is going to be a lot of cargo/transport jobs.
