Postal workers are disappearing.

Thanks in part to advances like email, Facebook, and Twitter, mail carriers may be all but obsolete in the not-so-distant future.

By 2024, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 28% decline in postal-service jobs, totaling around 136,000 fewer positions than 2014.

Mail carriers aren't the only ones whose jobs are disappearing. Technology and market shifts have affected a wide range of fields.
