“Whoever said life wasn't stressful has never been to a job interview. The pressure of looking professional, trying to impress your interviewer, and not coming off as nervous or overly-confident can stress out even the best of us.”

“Hiring can be tricky, there’s no doubt about it. And finding the person who ticks all the boxes is even more challenging in this strong economy. With the national unemployment rate down at just 3.6%, employers are competing to lock down top talent.”

"2020 is off to a tumultuous start for everybody, and those hoping to start a career during the COVID-19 lockdown period couldn't have arrived at such a life-altering period at a worse time. The entire workforce, the entire job market, is shrouded in uncertainty – for those hoping to enter it for the first time, it might seem entirely inaccessible. If you’re looking to begin a career in writing, you’d probably be feeling more than enough uncertainty starting a career under “normal” circumstances. But under the conditions 2020 has introduced, it’s hard to see any path forward – opportunities are few, scattered, and indistinct. I began my career last year, after graduating in English from Pomona College. Nearly everyone I know who entered the writing world with me approached their next step with different goals in mind, different priorities, different tradeoffs. Here’s the advice we can give for 2020."

The ideal job might differ from person to person, but most can agree on a few key characteristics: it should offer good pay, have potential for growth in its field and be in demand by employers. Meanwhile, employers also need to keep an eye on job trends to better inform their hiring practices.
With that in mind, we compiled our lists of the best jobs of 2020, defining “best” as job titles with the highest number of postings per one million jobs and offering the highest pay (using a baseline salary of $75,000), combined with consistent growth in share of postings from 2016-2019.
