The Top (and Bottom) Jobs in the US

Written by Nickel - Leave a Comment

CareerJournal.com has posted a list of the ten best and ten worst jobs in America. Given that their criteria included things such as income, stress, physical demands, outlook, security and work environment, it’s not terribly surprising that the ‘best’ list is full of mostly white collar, office-type jobs whereas the ‘worst’ list is riddled with physically demanding, labor-intensive jobs. In reading through the list, I was pleased to see my job near the top of the ‘best’ list — and even more pleased that I happen to agree with that assessment!
