Bank tellers.
This profession used to be a professional one, and people used to be able
to support their families in this line of work. Bank tellers now earn a
lot less (usually $10-$15/hr), are often part time jobs with few benefits
or job security, and may or may not be related to the fact that this once
primarily male-dominated profession is now predominately a female
profession (since WW2).
