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.

    Ever been to a UPS or FedEx hub? last time I was, a good 20 years ago, it was already almost entirely automated.

    Mostly automated? Compared to what? People still load and unload trucks and modules to go on airplanes by hand. I am not well versed in FedEx, but working with and at UPS, the only thing that is fully automated is some sorting in large facilities. Small ones still do that by hand too.
