Here Are The Top 10 Jobs In The U.S. Of 2022, And Most Of Them Come With A Bag Of Over Six Figures

Today’s job market is consistently evolving. And with the inflation rate going up, many companies are hustling, trying to figure out how to recruit and retain top-tier talent.

It seems as if some organizations have figured it out — at least from a salary perspective. Recently, Indeed, a global job searching site, released new data showing the top 20 jobs of 2022. The list is ranked by “employer demand, salary (using a baseline annual salary of $75,000), and consistent growth in the number of job postings from 2019 to 2022,” according to the company’s post.

Many of the jobs on the list offer six figures as a base salary. Considering the traditional workforce can be elitist with education requirements, a few of the top spots have varied levels of education as entry points. It is also important to note that many jobs on the list are in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

As more Black and brown people enter the tech industry, this list supports the industry’s growth and need for continued pushes for diversity in a field that is still historically dominated by white men. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the high-tech industry employs 63.5 percent to 68.5 percent of white people as opposed to only 14.4 percent to 7.4 percent of Black people and 48 percent to 36 percent of women.

AfroTech took this list from Indeed and highlighted the top ten jobs. However, if you want to be on your Cardi B vibes and “get a bag and fix your teeth,” you can check out the entire list here.
