A new trend this year is the presence of new tech jobs in within the CareerBliss happiest jobs list.
“As we have seen over the years, technology jobs continue to grow in the marketplace and in the interest of individuals looking to make a career move,” says Miller. “The influx of these kinds of positions makes sense as the landscape of our world continues to change, and are indicative of individuals’ desire to enhance their own knowledge in an industry that offers more and more professional education.”
Foremost among unhappiest jobs in America are those as security officers.
