The 25 Best Jobs in America in 2016

The 25 Best Jobs in America in 2016 What do a data scientist, a nurse practitioner, and a construction superintendent have in common?All three of them hold positions that rank on the 2016 edition of Glassdoors list of the 25 Best Jobs in America, coming in at No. 1, No. 23, and No. 22, respectively.Glassdoors rankings are based on three factors, according to Scott Dobroski, associate director of corporate communications at GlassdoorEarning potential How much money a person can expect to make in the roleCareer opportunity The potential for career advancement that the role affordsHiring opportunity How likely it is that a person can land the jobWere all probably familiar with those first two criteria, but I think hiring opportunity may need some extra explanation. (It sure did for me)Dobroski describes hiring opportunity as such There mightbe a great job, but if theres only twenty openings for that job in the U.S., you probably cant get hired for that role.The list is largely dominated by tech positions (No. 18 UX designer No. 5 mobile developer No. 12 software development manager etc.), with health care roles coming in second place. When you consider the stability of certain jobs and industries, Dobroski says, it makes sense that tech and health care would be prominently displayed on a list like this.We all know theres a lot of economic data that shows tech and health care continue to be great fields, Dobroski says. Well probably see roles like ansicht on this list for many years to come.Stability is an important trend uniting all the disparate jobs in the top 25, but Dobroski notes that theres also a second, more subtle characteristic that fruchtwein of these jobs have in common. He calls it nuance, by which he means that many of these jobs exist across industries.HR manager, business development manager, software engineer these are all roles that all companies need in this day and age, Dobroski says. Whether youre Walmart, Co stco, or Starbucks you compete for these roles, and youre competing with tech giants like Google or Apple for these roles.Recruiters, Pay AttentionThis list isnt onlyuseful for job seekers in need of lucrative, stable careers. Dobroski says that recruiters should pay attention to the top 25 jobs, and if they find themselves recruiting for any of these roles, they should make a big deal out of it.What many of these job titles have in common is that demand for them across the U.S. is outpacing supply, Dobroski explains.If you are an organization trying to hire for one of these roles, you should be touting it as a best job.Why? Because job seekers are more likely to pay attention to you if your can show them that yourerecruiting for one of the best jobs in America.Instead of just another job floating by, if job seekers see that youre recruiting for a best job, theyll perk up, Dobroski says.Below, you can check out the full list.
