The 25 best jobs for 2024

Employees have made it clear that they're more than ready to find a new job in the new year, but many just don't know where to look. Luckily, Indeed has them covered. 

Roughly 70% of workers say they feel open to new job opportunities and optimistic about their prospects in 2024, according to a recent report from the job search company. In an effort to help the workforce find new and profitable opportunities, the platform recently ranked the top jobs that have risen through the ranks by providing employees with greater opportunities, flexibility and high salaries.

"This year we expanded the list to [include] openings that offer above-average pay, plus some flexibility," Maggie Hulce, executive vice president and general manager at Indeed said in a recent release. "Our goal is simple: We want to help connect people to better work, however they define it, so they can live their best lives."

Mental health technicians, which provide support and assistance to individuals undergoing mental health treatment, topped Indeed's list with an annual average salary of $77,448 and 1,425 jobs per 1 million total jobs — the highest number of vacancies on the list. Loan officers and mental health therapists came in second and third place with annual salaries of $192,339 and $76,140, respectively. 

Six out of the top 25 best jobs featured on this year's ranking are in the mental health sector — three times as many as there were just two years ago — according to Indeed. The prominence of these roles may be due to a rise in demand for them, according to the Health Resources and Services Administration, which found that nearly half of the U.S. population lives in a mental health shortage area.
