Best-paying jobs in the US
June 5th, 2007
Forbes.com published a list of most well-paid jobs in America. It’s a little similar to the top jobs in Singapore, except that the medical professions feature more strongly in the US list. The salary difference between the No. 1 and No. 25 is also narrower (I’m not sure if it’s fair to compare this way though).
Without further ado, here’s the Forbes list (the numbers in parentheses are the annual salaries in US dollars):
- Anesthesiologists ($184,340)
- Surgeons ($184,150)
- Obstetricians And Gynecologists ($178,040)
