Several manager, tech, and healthcare jobs pay well and could see strong job growth over the next decade.
\n Business Insider used new projection data to see how high-paying jobs could grow.
\n Software developers and financial managers typically make six figures and are projected to be in high demand.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> are expected to grow a lot.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Below are the results, along with their projected job growth<\/a> from 2024 to 2034, median annual wage in 2024, and typical education needed.<\/p>\n
