The 10-year outlook for the occupation is strong with one in three of the top 100 jobs being in health care – an increase from one in four in the 2023 rankings. Future growth and a high median salary make this career sector appealing as well.”
At second place is financial manager, followed by software developer at No. 3, IT manager at No. 4 and physician’s assistant at No. 5.
