The 25 highest-paying jobs in America, according to Glassdoor

Tech and healthcare jobs dominated the list of highest-paying jobs in America, according to a new report by Glassdoor.

Looking at the top-paying jobs across U.S.-based companies, the job search firm pulled salary reports for job titles from July 1 last year to this year. (The company only counted job titles with more than 100 salary reports.)

“The majority of these jobs are not at risk for being replaced by the addition of automation, and often times automation is helping to assist these roles,” Glassdoor Economic Research Analyst Amanda Stansell told Yahoo Finance in a phone interview. “Many of these roles require a high level of education.”
