Our Mission
Understanding Tomorrow by Archiving Yesterday
The Jobs Museum is a digital institution dedicated to preserving the history of work. By studying the professions that time and technology have left behind, we can better understand the forces that shape our careers and anticipate the jobs of the future.
Why a Jobs Museum?
The history of work is the history of us.
Jobs have always evolved hand in hand with science, technology, and culture. They rise, they transform, and they disappear. From the knocker-upper replaced by the alarm clock, to the telephone operator automated by the switchboard, each extinct job is more than a curiosity—it is a case study in human adaptation.
AI may be the most consequential technology humanity has ever created. Like every wave of innovation before it, it will bring endings and beginnings. Some jobs will vanish. New ones will emerge. And with them, new meanings of what a "job" even is.
Because work is never just a checklist of tasks. It is responsibility, identity, and economics woven together. It is how we measure contribution, how we earn trust, and how we connect with one another. Work is the fabric of human interaction—and it is always being rewoven.
