The job market the past two years has been interesting to say the least. Between massive layoffs at the start of the pandemic and a reverse uno card pulled by Americans known as the ‘Great Resignation’, it feels like we’ve seen it all. Until now, because the best jobs in America as ranked by U.S. News might just surprise you.
