Health care and computer security dominate U.S. News' annual ranking of the best jobs.
Indeed, health care-related roles accounted for fully 40% of the media outlet's list of top 100 jobs for 2022, also reflecting the surging demand for workers who can tend to America's aging population. Physician assistant ranked third, while medical and health services manager landed at No. 4.
U.S. News compiles its annual ranking by analyzing federal labor data to identify the jobs that are most in demand. Occupations are then scored based on how quickly they are growing over 10 years, median salary, employment rate, future job prospects, stress level and work-life balance. "It is no surprise that health care occupations continue to dominate the Best Jobs general rankings. The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly helped underscore the essential role they play in all of our lives," Antonio Barbera, consumer advice senior editor at U.S. News, said in a statement."The low unemployment rates and strong future prospects for many of these roles certainly reflect that.
Of course, the bright career prospects for all manner of health care practitioners doesn't address the hardships many in the field are facing as the COVID-19 pandemic heads into a third year. Many hospitals report staff shortages as doctors, nurses, aides and others contract the virus and burned-out workers drop out of the profession.
