Available exclusively online at www.usnews.com/careers, this year's list spotlights a handful of new careers, including athletic trainer; education administrator; massage therapist; computer support specialist; heating, air conditioning and refrigeration technician; sales manager; and interpreter/translator.
"We've tailored this package to be as helpful as possible for job seekers in this rough job market," said Alexis Grant, U.S. News's Careers Editor. "In addition to pointing out high-opportunity careers, we've included a summary of job expectations and advice from people working in the industry on how to land each job."
To create the list, U.S. News identified occupations that promise growth and stability over the next decade, as well as above-average incomes and high job satisfaction. The careers are organized into five categories: technology jobs, healthcare jobs, social service jobs, business jobs, and creative and service jobs.
The U.S. News package includes extensive profiles on each of the top 50 careers, with information on salary, professional development and upward mobility, activity and stress levels, and educational or training requirements. Each occupation profile also includes tips from people who work in those industries about how to get hired for that job.
