The 20 best tech jobs in America right now

You don't have to look exclusively in the tech sector for one of these great jobs. Once again, tech jobs dominate Glassdoor's list of the 50 best jobs in America .But, it turns out, you don't have to work in the tech industry to have one of the best tech jobs this year.


As Dr. Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor's chief economist, tells Business Insider, companies across all industries, including healthcare, finance, and retail, are hiring workers for these needed positions. "Any organization today with a mobile app, web presence, or digitized data are struggling to fill jobs like data scientists, software engineers, and mobile developers," Chamberlain says.


For a job title to be considered, it had to receive at least 100 salary reports and 100 job satisfaction ratings shared by US-based employees over the past year.
