SALT LAKE CITY — It might be hard to pinpoint the best job in the United States. Different strokes, different folks. Good jobs don’t always have good benefits.
But horrible jobs might have great benefits. Some jobs don’t come with opportunities — you get stuck pushing paper.
Well, we may have the closest thing to a definite list of the best jobs in America right now. Glassdoor recently released a report that picks out the 25 jobs with the best career opportunities in the United States today.
Almost half of the jobs are in the tech industry. Nursing and medical-related jobs also make up several of the top spots. Finance-related jobs also boast a lot of opportunities, according to the report.
The study chose the top 25 jobs based on three factors — career opportunities ratings (filed by actual employees), salary and job openings.
