The Complete List of American Jobs: A Total of 820 Occupations Ranked by Salary, With Projected Growth Till 2026 and Education Requirement for Entry Level Positions

This book, The Complete List of American Jobs, is a companion book to America’s Best Jobs: Ranked Out of 156 Million Jobs Across 820 Occupations. Both books are written for the readership who wants to find out about the best jobs in the United States.

Both books are based on data that is of unmatched breadth and quality. The data was collected on 156 million jobs across 820 occupations by the U.S. government, newly released in May and October 2017.

This is doubtlessly the most comprehensive, most authoritative, and most up to date source of employment information. No other source, in public or private domains, could come anywhere close.

This book, The Complete List of American Jobs, has a much narrower focus and complements America’s Best Jobs. Instead of summarizing observations and deriving insights from employment data, this book presents the data itself, that is, the complete list of the 820 American occupations.

With this book, you can simply go through the occupation list and form a complete picture of the American occupational landscape.

You can also use this book as a reference book. When you have an occupation in mind, whether it is something you just heard from a friend or it is the job you currently have, pick up this book and look it up, and see where it sits on the list and how it stacks up against other occupations that might interest you.

In this book, for each occupation, the following information is provided:

• Median Wage
• Ninetieth Percentile Wage
• Number of Existing Positions
• Projected Growth Between 2016 and 2026
• Typical Education Requirement for Entry Into the Occupation.
