The US job market is certainly in a strange place these days. Between the great resignation, rising costs of living, lay offs and open positions, it’s hard to know where people’s heads are at sometimes. But if you’re looking for a new role, Forbes has just released its top 30 jobs with the fastest-rising salaries in the US for this year. Let’s have a look.

Forbes partnered with Adzuna’s research team to gather data on jobs, breaking down the data by job title to analyze over 4,000 job titles.

What they found is that loan officers currently have the highest average increase in pay—102%, to be exact. That’s not all though, their data compiled 29 other positions that are on the rise. Here’s what they found.

In a world where Americans still rely on convenience with a bungled supply chain, it only makes sense that delivery drivers would be getting a pay bump. On average, delivery drivers are getting a pay increase of 84%.

Following behind that, Americans need their mental health cared for during this time, which is why it also makes sense that mental health social worker salaries have grown by 80%.

Good luck out there!
