- The study examined the average monthly search volume in the U.S. of terms related to these jobs to determine which ones have been searched for the most
A new study has revealed the most in-demand jobs in the U.S. that you may want to consider.
Experts at the employee benefit app, Go Joe, analyzed the average monthly search volume over the past 12 months of various terms related to job searches in the U.S., such as ‘[job] vacancy’ and ‘[job] jobs’. Those with the highest search volumes have been deemed the most in-demand jobs.
“The data reveals that some of the most attractive jobs are those that combine working with a hobby or interest of the individual, such as traveling, photography, or working out at a gym. The average national yearly salary in the U.S. is $63,795, revealing that the majority of the most sought-after jobs are paid much less than the national average. This means the individual will have to weigh up whether enjoyment of the job or financial needs are more important,” according to Will Turner, CEO of Go Joe.
The most in-demand job is silversmith, with an average monthly search volume of 22,050. The average annual salary for a silversmith in the U.S. is $45,260, and most silversmiths go through an apprenticeship of around one to four years to develop the experience needed for the role.
In second place is pundit, with an average monthly search volume of 19,000. A pundit is typically an expert in a particular field, such as sport or politics, and provides commentary or opinions. A political commentator can make an average of $68,467 in the United States.
Personal trainers take third place, with an average monthly search volume of 18,000. A personal trainer can make an average of $68,677 a year, and prior experience working in a gym or fitness center can help someone to transition into the role.
Claiming fourth place is data and compliance manager, with an average monthly search volume of 11,060. This can be a very lucrative role, with an average salary of $113,913, but requires extensive experience in risk management or compliance-based roles.
Events curator is in fifth place, with an average monthly search volume of 9,120. Events curators can expect to earn an average of $49,850 each year, and the role requires a strong attention to detail. Experience in budget management is also preferred as it is a large part of the job.
Sixth place is taken by electrical engineers, with an average monthly search volume of 9,110. Typical duties include creating or maintaining electrical systems and ensuring compliance with all regulations. An electrical engineer can expect to make around $107,375 per year.
In seventh place is party planner, with an average monthly search volume of 8,840. Depending on experience, a party planner can make an average of $44,862 per year. Both budget management and organization skills are crucial for this role.
Business administration is in eighth place, with an average monthly search volume of 8,800. Someone with strong leadership skills, as well as analytical thinking, may suit this role well. The average salary each year for a business administrator is $63,610.
Ninth place is claimed by music manager, with an average monthly search volume of 7,800. Salaries can vary hugely depending on experience and success, but the average salary reported is $58,557. Many music managers have undertaken degrees in music business or marketing for this position.
Lastly, in 10th place is photographer, with an average monthly search volume of 7,310. A photographer in the U.S. can expect to make around $57,818 each year. A strong portfolio of work is much more important than holding a degree for this role as it showcases the talent of the artist.
