iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — If you’re looking for a good job with a six-figure salary and a fractional unemployment rate, a new survey suggests you go into health care.
Dentist was ranked the top job in US News and World Report’s study, with a median salary of over $152,000.
In fact, four of the top five jobs were in health care. Nurse practitioner and physician assistant were second and third, respectively, with salaries of just under $100,000. Orthodontist came in fifth place, at $187,000.
Also making as much as orthodontists are OB-GYNs and oral surgeons, who rank ninth and tenth, respectively.
Completing the top 10 are statisticians in fourth place, averaging $80,000, and computer analysts in eighth with $85,000.
