Detailed Description
By Michael Farr and Laurence Shatkin, Ph.D.
This book opens readers' eyes to the economy's best-paying jobs through more than 60 "best-paying jobs" lists and 250 job descriptions. It also combines information on high-wage jobs with additional factors to help readers make the best career decisions.
An easy two-step process lets readers explore the lists to find jobs that interest them and then dive into in-depth job descriptions to learn more.
Readers will discover jobs in which almost everyone is well paid; metropolitan areas and industries that pay more than $100,000 for certain jobs; and jobs in which there is little or no pay gap between men and women.
With the country's median salary at $32,390, this book shows only jobs that pay an average of $48,130 or more. Only about 25 percent of workers fall into this group.
New for this edition includes the following useful facts for each job:
- completely updated data
- career cluster and career pathway listing
- an "Other Considerations for Income" section
- a "Metropolitan Areas Where Income Premium is Greatest" section
- beginning wage
- earnings growth potential
528 pages. 7.5 x 9.25. Softcover. February 2010.
