SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Want to make more money? Workforce analyst site Glassdoor is breaking down the highest paying jobs and where to find them.
The survey was based on salary reports shared by employees with the jobs over the past year.
Tech jobs make up 13 of the top salaried positions. There are also five health care jobs on the list.
“The fact that employers are paying top dollar for many tech and health care jobs reinforces how demand for these valuable skillsets continues to outpace the supply of talent with these expertises,” said Glassdoor Economic Research Analyst Amanda Stansell. “We know that salary matters a lot to job seekers when determining where to work, but it should not be the only factor to consider. We’ve found that company culture and values, career opportunities and trust in senior leadership matter most when it comes to keeping employees satisfied in their jobs long-term.”
