If you're looking for a new job with a six-figure salary, then healthcare or tech might be your best bet.
That's according to the findings of an analysis by job-listing site Ladders.
Data scientists at the company analyzed the salaries of almost one million jobs listed on the site between January and August to compile the list. Jobs in healthcare and tech came out on top, Marc Cenedella, the founder of Ladders, told Insider.
"There are more opportunities in those fields than anywhere else," he said. "The AI boom is certainly contributing to the high number of tech jobs available. Tech companies are looking for experts in AI, cyber security, and cloud computing. All of those responsibilities might fall under job titles like software engineer and project manager. "
College-major options are linked to high-paying jobs. A recent study found that the most profitable majors were in STEM subjects.
