With an average salary of $208,000, Anesthesiologist tops the list of best-paying jobs in America for 2020, according to a new U.S. News ranking. That is followed by surgeons; obstetricians and gynecologists; obstetricians and Gynecologists; and orthodontists. Fourteen of the 25 best-paying jobs in America for 2020 are in healthcare.
Careers are subjective: If you are a health professional or looking for a job in that field, 2020 may be the year for you. A psychiatrist comes in at No. 6, followed by Physician at No. 7.
Prosthodontist, Pediatrician, and Nurse Anesthetist round out the top ten jobs with the highest earning power. To assemble and rank this list of the best-paying jobs in America for 2020, U.S. News examined the annual mean salary of each job included on its 2020 Best Paying Jobs list and then compared them to the cities that had the most available positions in those areas. Jobs are then scored using seven component measures: 10-year growth volume, 10-year growth percentage, median salary, employment rate, future job prospects, stress level and work-life balance. Salaries were taken from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
