The same trend occurs for designers: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=web+design%2C+graphic+desi...

There's a secretary crash too! http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=secretary&l= But seriously, this is relative to other job postings, so you can't say it is necessarily a crash, it could just be that the diversity of job types is increasing, or other areas of the job market are growing faster than these particular ones.

I think it's just the job descriptions are changing, as one of the above posts shows by comparing "guru" and "ninja."

No one wants a "Secretary" anymore, they want "Front-Office." "Office Assistant," and other buzz-worthy people.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This seems like a reasonable explanation, given that "manager", "plumber", and "electrician" all show similar drop-offs . I wonder what is increasing enough to have such a visible effect, though. You can't see them on the same graph since they're magnitudes are so different, so this isn't easy to see/I may be imagining things.

"Tax" is one which seems to be increasing.

Tax preparation is the largest seasonal occupation.

Edit: by which I actually mean that H&R Block is the largest seasonal employer (the Jeopardy question that ended Ken Jennings's run).
