If you want the best job in America, you’ll have to endure halitosis, blood, and most definitely drool.
Dentist is the No. 1 job for 2017, according to data released Wednesday by U.S. News and World Report. It scores points for high pay (median salary $152,700), low unemployment (0.1%) and solid work-life balance. That’s compared to a median salary of about $52,000 across all jobs in the U.S.; the current unemployment rate is 4.7%.
The media organization looked at hiring demand, salary, employment rate, 10-year growth, future prospects, stress levels and work-life balance to determine these rankings.
