The 10 most endangered jobs of 2016

The year had many casualties, and some of them were jobs.

The site CareerCast came out with a new report on the jobs that, as of this month, aren't quite dead but definitely endangered.

It's a mix of the jobs you would expect (typists, mail carriers) and those that may surprise (DJs, computer programmers).

Cashiers don't make the list, but Amazon Go hasn't opened its first store yet.

The major causes are familiar: automation and outsourcing.

"Job markets constantly evolve for a variety of reasons, but consumer habits and technology are two of the primary reasons why some jobs have a poor outlook," CareerCast wrote in a press release accompanying the report.

If a job is endangered, that means it has "unfavorable hiring forecasts" in 2017 and beyond. CareerCast drew its conclusions from Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

The No. 1 most endangered job is expected to decline in hiring by 28 percent through 2024. By the 10th most endangered job on the list, that drop-off slows to 8 percent.

Here are the 10 most endangered jobs in 2016:

1. Mail carrier

2. Typist/word processor

3. Meter reader

4. DJ

5. Jeweler

6. Insurance underwriter

7. Seamstress/tailor

8. Broadcaster

9. Newspaper reporter

10. Computer programmer
