Construction, healthcare roles make strong showing on Indeed’s best jobs for 2018 list

March 15, 2018

The best jobs in 2018 come from a wider variety of industries than last year, with a particularly strong showing from construction and healthcare-related roles, according to the best jobs of 2018 list released by jobs website Indeed. The list is based on salary — jobs with a baseline salary of at least $75,000 — and jobs that have seen the most growth in number of postings on Indeed since 2014.

Commercial project manager leapt from No. 19 last year to the number one spot in 2018 — propelled by an average base salary of $81,023 and 277% growth in job postings between 2014 and 2017. Overall, 16 jobs appeared in the results that weren’t on the list last year.

“Last year, this list was dominated by jobs in the tech sector, with software engineer and developer roles coming out on top,” said Indeed Senior VP Paul D’Arcy. “While these roles are still at the top of our list, it is interesting to see a strong showing by construction jobs that were completely absent last year like pre-construction manager, which jumped straight to the top five.”

The top 25 jobs are:
