The geeks strike back: despite enduring an industry bubble and the threat of
outsourcing, Software Engineer ranks as the Best Job of 2011.
In recent years, the job market has increasingly rewarded math whizzes at
the expense of less technical professionals. Actuary, Mathematician and
Accountant have all ranked among the best jobs in America by offering a
pleasant work environment, good salary and healthy job security. But in 2011
, as the emergence of specialized technologies creates new industries,
landing the year's best job requires not just skill with numbers, but a
strong knowledge of computers too.
Software Engineer, a job that involves the design and creation of software
for everything from operating systems to cell phone "apps" to interactive
games, ranks as the best job of 2011, according to this year's Jobs Rated
report. Surveying 200 different professions across a wide variety of
industries, skill levels and salary ranges, Jobs Rated researchers determine
their rankings of the best jobs and worst jobs according to five core
criteria: Work Environment, Physical Demands, Outlook, Income and Stress.
The goal of each Jobs Rated report is to determine how gratifying each
profession will be for a majority of workers – not just those who are
famous or exceptional – so they can be sorted into a list of the "worst"
and "best" jobs.
What helped Software Engineer capture the title of America's Best Job? While
many factors push a career to the top of the rankings, the strong
performance of Software Engineer this year can be attributed to two emerging
industries: web applications and cloud computing. A proliferation of
companies making applications for smartphones and tablets, along with the
push to develop "cloud" software hosted entirely online, has made the job
market for Software Engineers broader and more diverse. And a diverse job
market brings improvements in stress factors such as Growth Potential and
Competitiveness, as workers become less beholden to employers or vulnerable
to outsourcing. In fact, the stress ranking for Software Engineer improved
10 spots this year, jumping from 25th to 15th place overall.
By contrast, 2010’s Best Job, Actuary, saw both its overall outlook and
stress rankings fall sharply for 2011, due in part to continued uncertainty
regarding insurance industry regulation.
Each year the Jobs Rated report seeks to find professions that provide the
best overall experience for workers, not just jobs that excel in one
particular area. For 2011, Software Engineer managed to rank better than
15th for every measurement criteria save one – Income, where it still
finished 23rd. This means that on average, the profession offers a
comfortable work environment, few intense physical demands, better than
average income, strong hiring and comparatively low stress, helping it
easily rank among the best jobs of the year. And while there may be
exceptions to these findings (both good and bad), when compared to a low-
ranking job such as Garbage Collector, which requires intense physical labor
in an unpleasant work environment for little pay, Software Engineer fares
particularly well.
Continuing a recent trend, a majority of the jobs that rank in the top 10
this year require proficiency in math, science or technology, and all of
them require higher education or specialized training: |
