Glassdoor compiled a list of the highest-paying jobs in America based on job and company reviews from the beginning of 2015 until January of this year. They found that the most lucrative careers tend to cluster in healthcare, technology and finance. Indeed, the higher salaries requires more skills and responsibilities. “This report reinforces that high pay continues to be tied to in-demand skills, higher education and working in jobs that are protected from competition or automation. This is why we see several jobs within the technology and healthcare industries,” said Dr. Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor Chief Economist. “There’s no doubt that pay is among the leading factors most job seekers weigh when determining where to work.” Here are the five highest-paying careers:
- Physician: $180,000
- Lawyer: $144,500
- Research & development manager: $142,120
- Software development manager: $132,000
- Pharmacy manager: $130,000
