Types of organized crime rackets by decade?

Question

I am just wondering what types of rackets that organized crime had from the 1940s on. Like what new rackets appeared as the decades progressed, and how police/FBI surveillance changed how organized crime families went about their business.

Oh and if anyone knows about how much a single organization would make in a year please tell.
