There are lots of surveys each year professing to identify which careers pay the most money or which jobs will make you happiest or most joyful. Job site Indeed (with more than 250 million unique visitors each month from over 60 different countries) just released its own assessment of the best jobs in the United States for 2019, and the results are somewhat surprising.

Why? Because, says Paul Wolfe, Indeed's SVP of HR,

"Last year our list of Best Jobs was dominated by the tech and construction sectors, so it's interesting to see a much more diverse mix of industries this year. Litigation Attorney, for example, was completely absent last year and debuted on the list in the top five alongside Full Stack Developer and Machine Learning Engineer."
