The two best jobs of 2022 are information security analyst and nurse practitioner, a sign of the growing threat of cyberattacks as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Indeed, health care-related roles accounted for fully 40% of the media outlet's list of top 100 jobs for 2022, also reflecting the surging demand for workers who can tend to America's aging population. Physician assistant ranked third, while medical and health services manager landed at No. 4.
U.S. News compiles its annual ranking by analyzing federal labor data to identify the jobs that are most in demand. Occupations are then scored based on how quickly they are growing over 10 years, median salary, employment rate, future job prospects, stress level and work-life balance.
