The 5 most popular jobs in HR — and how much they pay

Published Updated 1 Min Read

Now may be as good a time as ever to get a job in HR.

Job growth in some positions in the human resources and benefits sector is projected to grow 10% over the next decade, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data cited in a new report from recruiting and staffing firm Randstad.

Employment will grow 5% between 2016 and 2026 for compensation and benefit managers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Offering good benefit packages is even more important to employers as the job market heats up, which is why many are putting more emphasis on this role, Randstad says.

Benefits manager salary: $80,779 (entry level) — $128,926 (senior level)
