The vast majority of high-paying jobs require a significant initial commitment in the form of education, training and tuition, and then hard work while on the job. Most high-paying jobs require significantly more hours on the job than the average American puts in. 24/7 Wall St. has identified nine jobs that pay well above the national median income, while requiring less working hours than average.
Does your location inhibit your earning potential? Forbes.com published a list of the top 10 best and worst towns for high-paying jobs yesterday, and focused in on those in the business and professional services category. More specifically this includes jobs in human resources, architecture, law, accounting, science and technology. Forbes reports that there are currently around 17 million jobs in this category, which, as the article notes, is twice the size of the finance sector.
In reviewing the list of towns included as the worst for high-paying jobs, there are a few clear patterns to note. Many are affected by the declining housing market, as cities such as Phoenix, Los Angeles and Orange County have seen significant losses in this area which in turn is affecting the business and professional service industry accordingly. Declines in other industries, including auto and tourism also have had a negative impact on this category of jobs.
