Census- Jobs that did not exist 10 years ago

[Oldowl]

As I was filling in the census it dawned on me, both my children have jobs that did not exist 10 years ago or even a year ago.

DS is a Covid Test Site Operative
DD is a student and Covid vaccinator

What other jobs did not exist 10 years ago?
What jobs were around 10 years ago, but no longer exist? (Club 18-30 holiday rep!!)

"influencer"

Instagram influencer.

I saw the thread title and thought "Instagram influencer". Anyone a Brexit Consultant?

Deliveroo type gig economy jobs

Its not an official job title... But over the past year DH has spent a good proportion of his working week coordinating online meetings.

There is now someone employed mainly for that task.

Were youtubers classed a job 10 years ago?

Just googled 'miners'. They still do exist in the uk. Lighthouse keepers went in 1998.

@Aroundtheworldin80moves is that a Zoom coordinator?!

Yes they were

Michelle Pham was a successful Youtuber in 2011

Uber drivers started in 2012 in London, so this is a new job in the last 10 years.

Interestingly, all 4 members of my household have changed jobs in the last 10 years. Very rarely do people have a job for life these days. I think most will have 3 different careers.

Intimacy co-ordinator (on a film set)
Foodbank fundraising manager

A lot of stuff that people do won't even get mentioned because it's done by non paid volunteers.
This country would grind to halt if every volunteer just stopped bothering.
