Jobs, Salary | featured news

Knowing which jobs will be in high demand and pay the most is a good place to start. To serve as a guide, 24/7 Wall St. identified the best-paying jobs of the future. These jobs will grow the most in the next decade, some as much as 60 percent by 2020. They also have median salaries that are close to double the national average of $34,450, and in some cases more.

A new survey by the jobs site CareerBliss.com finds that employees with higher salaries are happier with all aspect of their work life, not just their compensation.

Forbes analyzed the median weekly pay of full-time workers by sex and occupation in 2010, to pinpoint the jobs with the largest gaps in men and women’s earnings.

Activists marking international worker's day Sunday staged a massive march of 200,000 in Turkey's capital and rallied in cities around the world to demand more jobs, better work conditions and higher wages.

You can't judge a job by its salary, and it seems the reverse is also true. You might never guess that some workers are taking home such sizable paychecks, so Forbes came up with a fun list of the most surprising six-figure jobs in the U.S.
Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates was used to compile the list, and at least 10 percent of workers in each job must have earned more than $100,000 last year to make the cut. The 15 jobs Forbes deemed as surprisingly high-earners are below.
