Quick — What are the hottest jobs offering the biggest pay hikes? Web developer? Network engineer?
Yes, but don’t forget cashier, delivery driver and bank teller.
Glassdoor’s ranking of jobs showing the fastest wage gains over the past year includes high-skill positions as well as lower-skill, lower-paying fields where workers are in high demand. Paychecks for some of those jobs have been so low for so long they’re due for catch-up, says Andrew Chamberlain, chief economist of the job-posting site.
“Today’s strong labor market may be starting to improve pay across the income spectrum,” Chamberlain says.
Here are the 10 jobs with the largest annual pay increases in April:
Financial advisor
Median base pay: $55,296
Annual increase: 6.4%
With about 10,000 Baby Boomers a day retiring, financial advisors are a hot commodity.
Bank teller
Median base pay: $30,066
Annual increase: 5.5%
Banks have been closing branches and laying off tellers as banking shifts online and to ATMs. But tellers who remain are due for a raise.
Attorney
Median base pay: $101,817
Annual increase: 4.7%
A strong economy typically is good news for attorneys who play key roles in myriad business transactions.
Truck driver
Median base pay: $53,878
Annual increase: 4.5%
A severe nationwide shortage of drivers has driven up wages and led trucking companies to offer sign-on bonuses. Job site Indeed lists truck driver as the occupation with the most postings.
Delivery driver
Median base pay: $38,955
Annual increase: 4.5%
Amazon’s exponential growth has fueled demand for delivery drivers, which are No. 9 on Indeed’s list of jobs with the most openings.
Web developer
Median base pay: $65,414
Annual increase: 3.9%
An explosion of Web-based applications and services has increased the need for Web developers.
Network engineer
Median base pay: $71,433
Annual increase: 3.6%
The spread of cloud computing and data storage has stoked demand for network engineers.
Cashier
Median base pay: $27,923
Annual increase: 3.4%
Sure, self-serve checkout and the massive shift to online shopping have curtailed the hiring of cashiers. But the population is still growing and new stores are still opening.
Web designer
Median base pay: $51,875
Annual increase: 3.4%
Websites have become the public faces of businesses, and demand for skillful designers shows no sign of ebbing.
Security officer
Median base pay: $35,321
Annual increase: 3.3%
Many businesses are open 24 hours a day, creating the
need for round-the-clock security.

Here are the jobs where new
graduates are in demand, getting salary hikes
Just starting to work? Average pay for new entrants to the job market was up 5.2% in March from what their predecessors received a year ago. That's a bigger wage increase than the raises netted by existing workers.
Workers with special skills in information technology, manufacturing and construction or those in industries grappling with labor shortages, like trucking and construction, are seeing the biggest jumps in starting pay.
Here's a breakdown of fields notching the largest gains:
Information (including computer-related): +7.6% from year ago.
Construction: +6.8%
Trade, transportation and utilities (including trucking): +6.6%
Manufacturing: +6.5%
Professional and business services: +4.8%
The starting wage ranged from $9.41 in leisure and hospitality to $16.79 in information.

Forget Fulfillment, Young
People Want Financial Stability
After the Great Recession, most 18 to 24 year olds say
security beats passion.
The survey of 1,001 Millennial and Gen-Z (born after 1995) students and recent graduates found that the ability to find a job was the single biggest concern for 32 percent of all respondents, even though 79 percent thought that they would have a job within five months of graduation. Forty-two percent thought that they'd have a job in less than three months.
The top aspiration for students was, at 31 percent, to become financially stable in the next ten years. Financial stability was a top-three pick for 69 percent of the respondents. Following that was the desire to land a dream job, which was the top interest for 28 percent of respondents overall, with 32 percent of Gen-Z'ers and 24 percent of Millennials expressing that interest.
In getting a first job, 36 percent put career growth as their top priority, compared to fulfilling work and stability, at 19 percent each. Only 6 percent though getting the highest salary was most important, even though 73 percent expected to make up to $55,000 a year on a first job.
"A trend we're seeing emerge is that students --particularly the older ones-- who felt or witnessed the impact of the recession are more likely to prioritize career growth and stability in their job search," said Joyce Russell, president, Adecco Staffing, USA, in a press release.
Getting those jobs may be tough, however, as 42 percent will spend 5 hours or more on social media during spring break and 64 percent expect to spend the same amount of time streaming video. Only 16 percent plan to put 5 hours or more into a job search during that time. Thirty-one percent rely on online job boards while 29 percent depend on the school's career center.
The Millennial and Gen-Z respondents differed when it came to the cost of school. Twenty-one percent of Gen-Z students ranked the cost of college as their greatest worry. Only 13 percent of Millennials felt the same.
There were some interesting differences between the
genders. Women, at 38 percent, had travel as a top-three
aspiration, compared to 26 percent of men. And 28 percent of
men said that starting a family was a top priority, while
only 20 percent of women said the same. However, 36 percent
of all respondents had getting married as a top-three
aspiration.

11 of the Worst
Jobs for a Relationship
1. Casino worker (and other gaming service worker)
Many casinos are open 24/7/365. Workers at these types of establishments often work irregular hours, and they may even have to work on holidays. In addition to working during odd hours, casino workers may work around alcohol, gambling, and a party-like environment — this can place added strain on a relationship, too.
A 2010 study of Census data published by the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology found that gaming services workers had one of the highest divorce rates relative to other occupations. With a divorce rate of 31.4% (34.7% for gaming cage workers), this is exceptionally high when compared to the roughly 16% of Americans across all occupations who had been divorced or separated at the time of the data collection. And, to top it all off, gaming services workers are only paid a median salary of around $27,000 per year, per BLS estimates.
2. Massage therapist
We all know what it’s like to have that green-eyed monster emerge. In an Oprah.com publication, Helen Fisher describes jealousy as a “sickening combination of possessiveness, suspicion, rage, and humiliation.” It’s not unique to men or women, and even other species (like chimps and bluebirds) are faced with jealousy.
Given that the job of a massage therapist involves physical interaction, we probably don’t even need to explain why this occupation could place a burden on a relationship. “What type of clients did you have today?” and “What exactly did you do all day?” are some routine questions a message therapist may hear from a jealous significant other.
Massage therapists are paid a moderate salary — roughly $40,000 per year — to perform their services. According to the Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology study, the divorce rate across this occupation is exceptionally high, at 38.2%.
3. Waiter or bartender
Bartenders are consistently around people who are consuming alcohol. They are assigned the task of being in the center of it all, as a big part of their job is to improve the customer experience. It requires a certain degree of people skills to bartend, and some people are really great at it.
When you’re in a relationship, however, this job can be a source of problems. Bartenders may not know exactly what time they’ll be home from work — they often have to wait until all of the customers leave the establishment so they can perform their side-work before leaving for the night. The Journal study found that bartenders have the second-highest divorce rates, at 38.4%.
Waiters may face similar challenges to bartenders when it comes to maintaining a relationship. Odd hours, coupled with a unique work environment, can cause strain on any couple. Plus, waiters and bartenders may face financial issues, as they generally work for tips, which is a notoriously inconsistent form of income.
4. Athlete, entertainer, or dancer
Famous marriages, separations, divorces, and remarriages are often in the public eye. And with a 28.5% divorce rate among athletes, performers, entertainers, and related workers, there’s no shortage of juicy gossip in this arena. Maybe it’s the nature of the industry that places a strain on relationships: A large amount of travel, attention, and stress can place a burden on any couple.
Dancers and choreographers are in a similar boat. Rated No. 1 for the occupation that’s most likely to get divorced, dancers and choreographers have a 43.1% divorce rate.
5. Police and firefighters
Police officers and firefighters have some of the most dangerous jobs in modern America. Every day they leave the house, there’s a distinct chance that they can be injured or killed on duty. There are also other things that can stem from the everyday stress these public servants are subjected to, like mental health issues. For those in a relationship with someone holding one of these jobs? It can make it tough.
6. Politics
You’d have to imagine that it’s not easy being in Melania Trump’s shoes. Or Michelle Obama’s. Or anyone who’s married or in a relationship with any politician, really. Just look at what happened to Anthony Weiner. Or, if you really want your stomach to turn, watch the first episode of the show Black Mirror.
7. Military jobs
Being in a relationship with someone in the military, depending on the specifics, can be rough. Deployments can last for months or years. There’s a real chance that your loved one can come home severely injured or disabled — or be killed in action. The stress of the job can cause disorders like PTSD to develop as well, which can make a relationship even more difficult to handle.
8. Pilots and flight attendants
People who work in the airline industry can make it tough on their partners. They’re gone a lot. Traveling to different and exotic locales can put a strain on any relationship, especially if there’s jealousy or other underlying issues. Not only that, but the job is incredibly stressful. Pilots have hundreds of people’s lives in their hands, for example. And attendants? They put up with all kinds of abuse from passengers.That can make people difficult to deal with when they do arrive home.
9. Corporate executives
When you’re at or near the top of an organization, it’s a whole different ball game. You’re suddenly responsible for everything and everyone — and what they do, say, or screw up. There’s a reason these people tend to make so much money, after all. Power can also go to people’s heads. You might be the boss at work, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re the boss at home. Or in the relationship.
10. Media
Whether you’re a reporter or political pundit, working in the media can take its toll. Newspaper reporters, for example, have notoriously bad pay and work long hours. That’s not going to be pleasing to most spouses. And if you’re a notable, famous, or even semi-famous figure? That can attract all kinds of attention that can be hard to deal with, both negative and positive.
11. Teachers
You hear the horror stories, but nothing really replaces
the actual experience of being an elementary school teacher.
You have roughly 25 kids that you are responsible for each
day, all with varying backgrounds, abilities, and mental
states. You have an administration that always wants more
from you, constant changes in curriculum, and at least one
parent every year that thinks you’re the reason why
their little “angel” isn’t excelling. Adding
insult to injury, the pay is low and lunch breaks are short.
Don’t forget to buy some classroom supplies with your
own money because of budget cuts. By the time you head home,
you’re exhausted and running on empty for your own kids
and family. Sure, you get some summertime off, but
that’s just enough time to crawl your way back from
insanity only to have to face a fresh batch of chaos.

15 Worst College Majors for
Today’s Job Market
The value of a college education continues to be reexamined in the real world. In addition to being saddled with student loans, graduates and even experienced workers face a lackluster labor market. While a degree is still considered an advantage, the right major can make all the difference between happily employed and woefully underemployed in today’s job market.
Some majors are clearly failing. Millions of Americans are underemployed, according to a new report from PayScale. The information firm finds 46% of workers across all age groups believe they are underemployed. The feeling is shared among both male (43%) and female (49%) workers.
The meaning of underemployment can vary by person. PayScale defines underemployed as having part-time work but wanting to work full-time, or holding a job that doesn’t require or utilize your education, experience, or training.
Not using their education and training is the primary reason why respondents consider themselves underemployed. In the survey, 79% of men and 72% of women say they are underemployed because of their education and training going to waste. The report elaborates:
People who can’t find full time work in the field they studied often end up taking part time work, or working in jobs unrelated to their field of study. The danger of underemployment is that if you’re not using the skills you learned and want to develop, those skills will atrophy, leaving you less able to compete for the jobs you actually want.
Additionally, underemployed workers begin to disengage from their jobs, resulting in sub-par performance, further damaging future job prospects.
In general, you’re more likely to feel underemployed if you’ve achieved a lower level of education — no higher than an associate’s degree, GE, or high school diploma. However, that doesn’t mean a bachelor’s degree is your ticket to employment bliss. Let’s look at the 15 worst college majors for today’s job market, based on underemployed findings from PayScale.

15 Words You
Should Replace on Your Resume
The list of personal attributes that job seekers place on their resume to convey their value proposition is endless. Almost every resume I read is full of words that suggest the person is someone worthy of a spot on the team, yet few of them explain what they have actually done in their place of work to prove that they really possess these attributes. Some of the biggest "offenders" I see repeated over and over again on resumes include:
1. reliable
2. loyal
3. trustworthy
4. great sense of humor
5. conscientious
6. helpful
7. innovative
8. seasoned
9. results-oriented
10. dependable
11. detail oriented
12. highly motivated
13. versatile
14. independent
15. self-starter
Can you imagine buying a car from a salesman who claims the vehicle is dependable without first doing some research on the car's handling, performance, and gas consumption? Would you hire an accountant just because he claims he is trustworthy or would you want more specific details about how she prepares taxes? Would you choose the house renovation contractor who says he is reliable without asking him questions about his time frames for getting the job done? Would you hire someone to take care of your children because she says she is conscientious or would you want to know exactly what type of activities she has done with children?
Hiring managers don't hire people who say they are
reliable and trustworthy. They hire people who can prove
time and time again, without a shadow of a doubt that they
have experienced successes in the past that make them strong
candidates for similar continued success in their
organization. Before you include a list of personal
attributes on your resume, ask yourself, "Will these words
really persuade a hiring manager to interview me or are they
just words?" Then do the hard work of actually creating a
resume that includes the strong proof of success that gets
candidates in the front door.

Many reasons
to believe the good ol' U.S. of A. is back on track in
2015
And they deserve to be celebrated.

3. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, greater use of birth control among sexually active teenagers has contributed to the lowest teen pregnancy rate since 1991.
4. Since 1965, the smoking rate in America has been cut by more than half.
5. Unemployment in the U.S. is down 47% since its peak in 2009.
6. The three highest-rated network TV dramas with viewers age 18-49 in the 2014-2023 season are produced by and starring people of color.
7. Solar power installations are 17 times more common in the U.S. than it was just seven years ago.
8. Because of the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, 1.4 million undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children no longer have to fear deportation.
9. The number of unsheltered homeless people in the United States has declined more than 30% since 2007.
10. Three American cities — Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco, will all have a $15 minimum wage within six years.

College
Majors With Highest (and Lowest) Unemployment
People who have graduated from college are historically more
likely to be employed than those who have not. The
unemployment rate for those with a four-year bachelor’s
degree is 2.7% – lower than the national unemployment
rate of 4.9% for all workers. In comparison, the rate for
those with a regular high school diploma is 5.2%.
Even among college graduates, however, the unemployment rate varies greatly depending on major. While the unemployment rate for those who majored in certain subjects such as public policy and social psychology is higher than the national jobless rate, it is less than 0.1% for others such as nuclear technology and actuarial science.
24/7 Wall St. has determined the college majors that currently have the highest and lowest rates of unemployment using data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2015 American Community Survey.
