The 13 best jobs for people who want to work less than 40 hours a week

The 40-hour workweek is on its way out, and more Americans are feeling overworked and underpaid. But what if there was an alternative?

To find jobs that allow you to work less but still get paid well, we analyzed US Census data for about 478 occupations distilled by the Minnesota Population Center's 2014 American Community Survey Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.

Based on that survey data, the average American works close to 40 hours a week and has a total income - a combination of salary, business, and any other form of money earned in a year - of about $50,569.

While some may work more or less than the average depending on their employer or where they are in their career, people with the following professions report typically working an average of less than 40 hours a week and earning close to the median US income.
