problem with post_type on custom post type

I’ve created two custom post types pretty much the same

add_action('init', 'classifieds');

function classifieds() {
$args = array(
'label' => __('Classifieds'),
'singular_label' => __('Listing'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => true,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
);

register_taxonomy( 'classifieds-category', 'classifieds',
array(
'hierarchical' => false,
'label' => __('Categories'),
'query_var' => 'classifieds-category',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'classifieds-category' )
)
);

register_post_type( 'classifieds' , $args );
}

and also

add_action('init', 'directory');

function directory() {
$args = array(
'label' => __('Directory'),
'singular_label' => __('Listing'),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false,
'rewrite' => true,
'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail')
);

register_taxonomy( 'directory-category', 'directory',
array(
'hierarchical' => false,
'label' => __('Categories'),
'query_var' => 'directory-category',
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'directory-category' )
)
);

register_post_type( 'directory' , $args );
}

however if I use
<?php echo $post_type ?>
they both show the same – “directory” and i can’t seem to get “classifieds” for the classifieds posts?!
