Data scientist is the best job in America for the third consecutive year, according to Glassdoor's annual Best Jobs in America report.
Glassdoor's list includes a total of 50 positions across all professions. Jobs were ranked by a job score out of five, which considers earning potential, job satisfaction, and number of job openings.
"Data scientist has ruled as one of the hottest jobs for years," says Glassdoor chief economist Andrew Chamberlain. "This is due to the high demand (4,524 open jobs), the high salary ($110,000 median base salary), and high job satisfaction (4.2). Not only are tech companies scrambling to hire data scientists, but industries across the board, from health care to nonprofits to retail, are also searching for this talent."
