Advertising sales is one of several occupations to rank among the worst jobs due in part to the decline in traditional media forms such as newspapers and television. Employment in advertising sales is expected to decline by 3% over the decade through 2024. This decline will track closely with trends across the newspaper publishing industry. However, because advertising will still be sold on digital formats, the decline in ad sales workers will not be as severe as in other areas of print media.
