5 highly paid specialties of 2020, which did not exist 10 years ago

The 2010s marked a decade of uncertainty in the US labor market. In many sectors, the effects of the Great Recession were still noticeable, the country's unemployment rate was 9,7%, 2010 graduates made up the worst labor market for a generation. By the summer of that year, more than a million people looking for work stopped looking for it, writes CNBC. A lot has changed in ten years—the market has improved significantly for most workers, especially in technology.

While advances in technology have eliminated some jobs performed by humans, this process has also contributed to the emergence of entirely new jobs over the past 10 years—many of them well-paid, thanks in part to a shortage of workers with the necessary skills to fill the new jobs that are critical to keeping businesses competitive .

CNBC talked with Glassdoor senior economics analyst Amanda Stansell about jobs that barely existed at the turn of the decade, but literally exploded in growth and average wages during 2010-2020.

Data Scientist: $ 107 a year

In 2012, Harvard Business Review called the specialty of data analyst “the sexiest work of the 21st century.” And over the past four years, Glassdoor has recognized her No. 1 job in the US based on job satisfaction, pay and opportunities.

Stansell says the demand for data professionals is still the most concentrated in technology, but is growing in all sectors: healthcare, finance, business, retail, media, and others.

“All of these companies need a data scientist who can take the growing volume of data and turn it into something valuable,” Stansell says.

Although the term “data science” was first coined by William S. Cleveland as an independent discipline (separate from traditional statistics) in 2001, jobs in this area grew most rapidly after 2010. This is due to the fact that more and more companies are investing in data collection technologies. Therefore, the need for professionals who can interpret this data soared.

Since this is still a relatively new field, many of today's analytical experts have diverse knowledge in computer science, mathematics, statistics, and technology. However, over the past decade, more and more universities have begun to offer special degrees, courses, and even academic courses in data science.

Information security engineer: $ 100 per year

Since 2010, more than 38 billion accounts have been compromised as a result of data hacking, according to data from cybersecurity company Risk Based Security. These violations and the need to protect user data have made information security one of the fastest growing areas. Information security engineers work to protect the organization’s computer network systems, and plan and implement security measures to protect sensitive information from hacking and cyber attacks.

“As more and more high-profile data privacy breaches have occurred in recent years, companies have begun to need people who can help them protect information,” says Stansell.

According to the forecast of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2028, job growth in this specialty will be 32% (the average growth rate in all specialties is 5%).

However, the need for information security specialists has greatly overshadowed the number of people with the skills to do the job. The US Department of Commerce estimates that the country has 350 unfilled cyber security jobs. Cybersecurity Ventures, an analytic and research company, estimates that by 000, 2021 million cybersecurity jobs around the world will remain unfilled.

This lack of talent means that employees are paid generously. Although Glassdoor data suggests that information security engineers earn an average base salary of just over $ 100 a year, according to data from SilverBull, a cybersecurity company, top posts such as the chief information security officer can bring over 000 dollars a year.

Director of diversity and inclusion: $ 98 per year

The only high-paying new jobs of the decade that don't fall into the tech space are those focused on workplace culture, especially in the area of ​​diversity and inclusion. The D&I director position is so new that Glassdoor doesn't have much salary data, but the service uses the HR director's salary of $98 per year as a guide.

According to a 2019 Glassdoor study, 61% of American employees have witnessed or experienced workplace discrimination based on age, race, gender, or LGBT identity. Meanwhile, over the past year, the number of jobs related to diversity and integration has increased by 30%, for example, positions of D&I Director, Program Manager, Diversity Consultant and D&I Consultant are actively being offered.

“This suggests that these are issues that workers are facing and employers are trying to make an impact in this area,” Stansell says, “which is actually an encouraging sign that employers are investing in workplace creation.”

Large companies with 5000 or more employees make the largest investments in expanding their D&I departments, probably because they have the financial resources to do so.

Stansell predicts that progress will continue in the next decade. According to a 2017 Deloitte survey, 72% of employees said they would consider leaving their company to join another with the best diversity initiatives and programs.

“Over the next few years, we will continue to see midsize companies investing in diversity and inclusion, especially since it is so important to job seekers,” Stansell says.

Sales engineer: $ 90 per year

Sales engineers work for technology companies, selling specialized software and products to other businesses seeking to expand their IT efforts.

“Because technology companies offer truly valuable products to potential customers, they need to be able to tailor to each individual [customer],” Stansell says. “Having a sales engineer who is the liaison between the sales and engineering aspects is very important to make sure the prospect's needs are met.”

Because workers must have extensive knowledge of these products and understand the scientific processes that underlie their activities, sales engineers generally have technical knowledge (such as a degree in computer science or engineering). However, Stansell adds that they also need good interpersonal skills, such as communication, negotiation and marketing skills, to offer customers tailor-made solutions in the sales process.

Professionals with marketing experience can also learn more about technical products and software to move into this specialty.

While Glassdoor estimates the average annual salary for a sales engineer to be $90 per year, pay can vary depending on what the company sells. For example, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says those who work in the telecommunications industry tend to earn the most, at about $000 a year, followed by sales engineers in computer systems engineering and wholesale electronic markets, who also earn six figures. salary.

Salesforce Developer (Salesforce developer): $ 80 per year

Salesforce is a cloud software company that specializes in customer relationship management. It was founded in 1999 and its influence on the US workplace has expanded significantly over the past 10 years, so much so that the Salesforce developer role has become an in-demand position at companies such as Google, Amazon, PwC and Uber.

Salesforce developers use the Salesforce platform or cloud technology to encode software or application solutions for their company to better communicate with customers, partners and potential customers.

“This is work born entirely from a successful technology product that changed the way companies work and organize data,” Stansell says.

Developers typically have experience in computer science and can be certified in specific Salesforce applications or processes. However, these developers also need communication skills to interpret data and workflows for a non-technical audience.

“I think we'll continue to see this trend in the future with really successful tech products,” Stansell says. “People who can learn these skills and apply them to different companies can have really good career opportunities.”
