The 15 Best Jobs Of 2014
The top 15 occupations are heavily devoted to tech and health care, which shouldn't be too surprising. As the Boomer generation ages, we continue to see an ever-growing need for health professionals. Meanwhile, the tech boom requires a steady supply of skilled employees who can code websites, analyze data, and keep information secure from hackers and malware.
In 2014, the top-ranked job is software developer, which jumped seven spots from last year's list. It also marks the first time that the best job on U.S. News' annual list is not in the health-care sector. Software developer tops the list thanks to great job prospects, faster than average growth, low unemployment, and high earnings.
To come up with its ranking, U.S. News & World Report crunched data on projected job growth, median salary, future job prospects, and overall job satisfaction. The final list is a great place to start for anyone looking for a position or contemplating a career change.
