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.
