Several manager, tech, and healthcare jobs pay well and could see strong job growth over the next decade.
Business Insider used new projection data to see how high-paying jobs could grow.
Software developers and financial managers typically make six figures and are projected to be in high demand.
Software developers aren't going away, the latest job projections show. This job typically pays well and will still be needed in the era of artificial intelligence.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics published new employment projections on Thursday that showed potential growth from 2024 to 2034. Business Insider took these new findings to analyze which high-paying jobs are expected to grow a lot.
To do so, we took the geometric mean of occupations that had a median annual wage of at least $75,000 in 2024 and a projected employment increase over the next decade and ranked the jobs by that combined metric. We excluded catch-all job groups.
Below are the results, along with their projected job growth from 2024 to 2034, median annual wage in 2024, and typical education needed.
