These are the best flexible jobs with good salaries in America right now. Most aren’t in tech

If you’re looking for a new job in 2024—especially one with a higher-than-average salary and some chance of remote work—you’ll want to give Indeed’s 50 Best Jobs in the U.S. for 2024 list a look.
The jobs site tracks the best jobs in America annually, but this year’s list was compiled in a slightly different way. As Indeed points out, a recent Forrester study shows that those seeking jobs name “fair pay” as the primary factor that influences their well-being in the workplace, with the flexibility of the job a close second.?
That’s why for its 2024 Best Jobs list, Indeed partly selected the jobs based on a salary minimum above the national average in America and jobs for which at least 10% of the listings included flexible terms like “remote” or “hybrid” work. The jobs platform also took into account opportunity growth of the job and availability of the jobs in consideration.
These are the top 10 jobs in America, based on Indeed’s criteria, followed by their starting salary:
Looking at the top 10 list, you can see two types of jobs dominate: those in the mental health field and engineering positions. Indeed points to a Mental Health America report that shows 20.78% of adult Americans have admitted to struggling with mental health issues in 2023. Those struggles have led to an increased need for people working in the mental health field.
Another finding from Indeed’s list is that 70% of the top 10 jobs have a high probability of being impacted by AI. Yet that doesn’t mean AI itself may take your job. “In reality, it isn’t generative AI that is going to take your job,” said Svenja Gudell, chief economist at Indeed, but rather the person who “knows how to work with the tools that generative AI has given them.”
But tech jobs no longer dominate Indeed’s top 50 list, either—and part of that is because tech jobs are no longer seeing the exponential growth they did during the pandemic years. Instead, layoffs hit the tech industry hard in 2023, a trend that has crept into 2024 so far as well.

10 个月Follow that Dream
DOL Program AVP @ Ryan Specialty National Programs
10 个月Loan officer: $192,339 ?! This is completely inaccurate. I did this job for a decade and very little of my compensation was salary. As a LO you typically make the vast majority of your income, if not all of it, in commission. Now, I've made this much before as a LO and I know others who've made even more. But the point is that the income was from commission, not salary, and this article is extremely misleading, saying this is not only a salary, but a starting salary.
