The 50 Best Jobs in America
The 50 Best Jobs in America One takeaway you may not be surprised to learn in 2018: Itâs still great to work in technology. Thatâs a finding from the job site Glassdoorâs fourth annual report on the best jobs in America. On this yearâs list, the tech sector comprises 20 of the 50 top positions, including data scientist (No. 1), devops engineer (No. 2), and data analyst (new to the list at No. 38). The fast-growing finance and healthcare industries are well-represented, too, from finance manager (No. 12) to physician assistant (No. 25), the latter having a high median base salary of $104,000. The report notes that many of these jobs are unlikely to be replaced by AI or automation, and require flexibility in addition to technical knowhow. Glassdoorâs ranking compiles three factors to determine its job scores, weighing them equally: base salary, job satisfaction ratings, and number of job openings. And while just about everyone wants to be in an in-demand job with strong pay, the satisfaction scores offer a broader picture of how people feel in the roles. âOnce people start their jobs, pay is not necessarily the leading impact for how satisfied you are,â says Glassdoor spokeswoman Sarah Stoddard. There are some surprising additions to the list, like executive assistant (No. 46), which doesnât always get a glowing reputation. But that occupation will continue to thrive and require creativity to help bosses in a tech-enabled workplace, according to Stoddard. Looking for a new, more promising gig?
