Don't job search here: America's fastest-dying industries

  • 12 years ago
http://www.nma.tv/ No matter how the US economy fares in 2011, some sectors face inevitable decline. A new report by market research company IBIS World names 10 US industries that are on their way out. These include apparel manufacturers, newspaper publishers, DVD rental stores, record stores and manufactured home dealers. In most cases these industries were not only hit hard by the recession but were already in trouble because of competition from overseas and/or changes in technology. As the US economy recovers, these sectors will continue to struggle. The notable exception is the mobile home industry, which surged during the housing boom and saw its core consumer base hit especially hard by the recession.
