Here Are The Top 10 Highest Paying Jobs In America

Glassdoor is out with its annual report on the 25 highest-paying jobs in America, over half of which, 13, are in the technology sector. 

Taking the top three spots, however, are physicians, pharmacy managers and pharmacists - with average salaries of $195,842, $146,412 and $127,120 respectively. 

In tech, enterprise architects, software development managers, software engineering managers and software architects were the highest paid professions, with the lowest average salary at over $100,000. 

The report gathered salary data from millions of employees, examined job titles that received a minimum of 100 salary reports over the past year, and used algorithms to estimate the median annual base pay. C-suite-level jobs were excluded from the report. -Bloomberg

ā€œTechnology and health care are the two industries that are making the greatest impact on the economy,ā€ said Glassdoor community expert Sarah Stoddard. ā€œThereā€™s a high demand but short supply for those roles, driving up salaries.ā€

Top Ten: 

Meanwhile, about 70% of those surveyed said salary is a key factor in determining a career, while 27% of Americans say they "don't have a good sense of their career path" and 25% say they feel like they're "on a treadmill going nowhere," according to a Wednesday LinkedIn survey of 2,000 professionals. 

And despite men dominating the country's highest paying jobs, tech companies employ nearly twice as many males as females vs. health care, according to a 2017 report by Linkedin. 

Interestingly, over half of employed Americans are looking to leave their current jobs, according to a July Gallup survey, while the average American remains in the same job for approximately a decade.

I earned over $300k per year when I worked in the US (now I'm in Australia, much better country). The horrible thing about living in the US, which I regard as a "shithole" country, is the medical insurance, or lack of it. Even if you have the insurance, they mostly try not to pay when required. What a dreadful place.... how do you all put up with it?

The little people, who voted Trump in hoping he'd change things, were completely misled. Trump is an agent of the oligarchs, and has no real concern for the hoi-polloi.

"But to say to US voters, 'I am going to protect your jobs, I'm going to protect social security, I'm going to protect your healthcare, I'm going to stand up for the little guy, I'm going to drain the swamp - and then bring in half your cabinet from Goldman Sachs? And pass ā€“ or try to pass ā€“ the most aggressive pro-corporate legislation that the US has ever seen? I'm comfortable calling that a corporate coup."

ā€” Naomi Klein

You donā€™t live in Australia. The country is doing much better than when the last guy, who looks closer to your avatar sans golden hair, was running us into the ditch. To immigrate to Australia you have to add value to their culture, not just be a shithead who tries to get in illegally.

Lol, I visited Australia for a few months and totally loved it.  It's very much like Canada.  What I love about both countries is I can walk down clean streets and not ever worry about people running around with guns.

Had a discussion with a US person the other day and I was blown away by how high your property taxes are compared to Canada.  We came to the conclusion that a disproportionate part of US property taxes is put towards supporting massive police departments and ambulance services that are needed thanks to your love of guns/constant shootings/violence. 

While the US fella said he lived in a city in a $250,000 house on a small lot and paid over $5000/year US in property taxes, I live in a $350,000 house on a 50 X 100 foot property with a garage for $2450 Canadian property taxes.  We have a very small police department, etc. comparatively.  We came to the conclusion that one way for the US to reduce guns in society would be to reduce the property taxes of those that own no guns or want to hand them in for destruction, and raise the taxes of those that own the guns which cause the need for these extra services.  Republicans should love that idea as the current system is socializing gun ownership to the detriment of non-gun owners.

US people talk a lot about "freedom", but I often wonder if they've ever actually experienced it.  My definition of true freedom is my ability to live in my multi-cultural city and do whatever I want, go wherever I want, walk wherever I want, day or night, without fear of meeting up with thugs or people with guns.

"Great comeback. Don't give up the day job..."

 

This from some stupid ass fucking millennial government troll! I won't go in to leftist sociopath part! Get a life child, you don't own shit! If you did, it would be because you have a brain. If you did have a brain, at that moment you would know, don't ever talk about your wealth. The stuff you are massively lacking! Your just not lacking stupid! Attacking others non stop with a blame mentality, is a great example of "Hurting people, hurt people"

I get tired of retards like you, screwing up a somewhat decent board! Go take you stupid shit elsewhere!

All is nice until the Aussie housing bubble pops. I don't believe the Aussie's have there own US Federal Reserve to bail itself out. Not bragging that the USA is better shape, but soon or later the debt bomb is going to go off in Australia.

Problem with Aussieland, is the band real firearm owner ship. Leftist made all the Aussie turn in their guns.

Get your facts right..... Australia only banned semi-automatic rifles.  Non Auto rifles and hand gun laws havent changed at all.  saying that i've lived in Australia for all 43 years and i've only ever seen a gun once (except on police).  

 

I have 2 boys and they have only ever done fire drills, NO school here does shooting drills.  I only wish our gun laws were tighter!

You do realise most countries have a central bank, and can print more currency.  The only difference U.S has is the petrodollar which is losing it's dominance currently to the Yuan and other countries trading outside of it.  The debt bomb is bigger in U.S than Australia, you are basically printing dollars to buy your own debt at the moment.....rest of the world calls that a ponzi scheme and it will lead to hyper-inflation.  

Countries resist printing extra currency due to the inflationary nature of doing so......ergo why your dollar over the last 80 years has become near worthless.

Duh,That's exactly what I said! Issue is that when Aussie debt bomb detonates it does not have the World Currency status to permit it to print without crashing its currency and driving interest rates to double digits.

How pitiful. Did you cry a little first or is your cognitive dissonance so strong that your initial snowflake-reaction was anger?  

In relation to the article: only losers have ā€œjobsā€ in the Casino-Gulag called US Inc. The real money (fiat) is ā€œmadeā€ by owning the shit-show. The so-called ā€œwork-freeā€ ā€œincomeā€ ā€“ dividends, profit, rent, printing fiat out of thin air etc.
