And the No. 1 job in America is …
Not on Wall Street. Instead, look to health-care jobs, which dominated this list, in part because they require a “human element, so they can’t be exported or entirely replaced by robots” - at least, not yet.
Dentist is the #1 job for 2017, according to U.S. News and World Report, which looked at hiring demand, salary, employment rate, 10-year growth, future prospects, stress levels and work-life balance to determine these rankings. Dentistry scores points for high pay (median salary $152,700), low unemployment (0.1%) and solid work-life balance. That’s compared to a median salary of about $52,000 across all jobs in the U.S.; the current unemployment rate is 4.7%.
Anyway, here are the 10 “best” jobs in America (and the median salary for each):
- Dentist: $152,700
- Nurse practitioner: $98,190
- Physician assistant: $98,180
- Statistician: $80,110
- Orthodontist: $187,200
- Nurse anesthetist: $157,140
- Pediatrician: $170,300
- Computer systems analyst: $85,800
- Obstetrician and gynecologist: $187,200
- Oral and maxillofacial surgeon: $187,200
Of course, plenty of jobs that pay less well than these are still rewarding to those who do them. Marriage and family therapists make less than $50,000 a year, on average, but land on this list, as do opticians.
