Which USA Jobs Pay the Most?

20 Jul 2019 Article from Malaysia Sun

Tech jobs are supposed to be the golden door to wealth in 21st century America.

But Bloomberg’s Work Wise – our special report on how young professionals can get ahead, make money and give back – reveals that some things haven’t changed since the last century. Remember when your mother told you to be a doctor? She was right.

Four of the top five paying jobs in the US are within the world of medicine and dentistry, according to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics.

General practitioners makes the most money, with a median annual salary of $201 100. You’d have to scroll down to No. 10 before you hit a tech job: Computer and information systems managers have a median annual salary of $142 530. Software developers came in at No. 36, with a median salary of $110 000 a year.

As for lawyers, the industry’s consolidation as law schools kept minting graduates has taken its toll. Being an attorney in America these days puts you at No. 24 on the list, with a median annual salary of $120 910, wedged between physicists and purchasing managers.

Wondering who really gets the short end of the stick? Well, you may want to give your dealer a few more chips the next time you hit Atlantic City. Also, try not to stiff your waiter the next time you eat out. Both jobs have two of the lowest median annual salaries, according to the BLS.
