Physician, pharmacy manager and pharmacist ranked as the highest-paying jobs in America, but tech jobs still comprised about half of the highest-paying jobs, according to the Highest Paying Jobs in America report released today by Glassdoor.
Thirteen of the 25 jobs are tech jobs, more than any other profession and up from 11 in 2017. The list also includes five healthcare jobs, down from six in 2017, including the top three.
“The fact that employers are paying top dollar for many tech and health care jobs reinforces how demand for these valuable skill sets continues to outpace the supply of talent with these expertises,” said Glassdoor Economic Research Analyst Amanda Stansell.
