About the Highest Paying Jobs

Highest Paying Jobs ranks 515 US jobs by what they actually pay, using the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics wage survey (May 2025, published 2026). Filter the list by field, by the education a job needs to start, or by a minimum salary, and sort it by median pay, average pay, what the top 10% earn, hourly wage or the number of people in the job. Ready-made rankings answer the common questions: the highest paying jobs without a degree, with only a high school diploma, with an associate, bachelor’s or master’s degree, entry-level and trade jobs, the best-paid jobs in healthcare, tech, engineering and ten other fields, and the highest paying jobs in each of the 50 states and Washington DC. Every job links to its own salary page with hourly pay, the full pay range and pay by state.

How to use it

1 Start with the full ranking, or pick a ready-made list such as jobs without a degree, a field or your state.
2 Narrow it down with the field, education and minimum pay filters, or search for a job.
3 Sort by median salary, top 10% pay, hourly wage or most workers.
4 Open any job to see its pay range, hourly and monthly pay and salary in every state.
