When choosing a career path nowadays, it is best to know your options. If the goal is to land into a high-paying job, keep a close eye on the occupations that are in-demand in the job market.

Online career website Indeed ranked the most promising jobs, and it was found that workers from the technology, business, health care, and architecture fields hold some of the best occupations in 2020. 

The recruitment site compiled a list of the 25 best jobs of the year based on three criteria: average pay, the percentage of the job title’s growth on Indeed within the past three years, and the number of the job title postings per one million total listings on the career site. The ranking considered jobs that pay $75,000 or more annually.
