America's Best- and Worst-Paying Jobs (including PR)

Klaus Kneale, Forbes.com, Yahoo! HotJobs

It's still better to be a doctor than a dicer. Food preparation and serving remains the nation's lowest-paid line of work, while the medical field still offers the nine best-paid jobs in the U.S.

According to the U.S. government's newly released Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, based on 2008 data, the typical surgeon makes an average of $206,770 a year. That puts surgeons above anesthesiologists to have the best-paying job in the country.
Internists now earn a little more than prosthodontists (people who make and fit false teeth). Otherwise, the top 10 jobs rank the same as a year ago. The biggest change is a nearly $10,000-a-year drop in pay for natural sciences managers, meaning people who run labs and research facilities.

Within the 25 best- and 25 worst-paying jobs, not much has changed. The best-paying 25 are all the same as last year with some minor rearrangements. Within the worst-paying, one job fell off the list -- or, rather, climbed out. Agriculture graders and sorters now make enough to rank as the 26th worst paid job in America. Maybe chicken sexing isn't quite as bad as it used to be. Replacing them on the list: employment in food-preparation and serving jobs like cappuccino maker and "sandwich artist."

Overall, the average annual wage in the U.S. was up 3.9% from a year before, rising to $42,270. That is about in line with the 3.8% increase the year before. Perhaps the increase in average wage may continue, if only because of people at the top keeping their jobs as those lower down lose them. After all, Ken Lewis is holding on as chief executive officer of Bank of America, though the bank announced in December it would be reducing its workforce by 35,000 over the next three years.

Want to push your pay up as high as possible? Land a job as a surgeon in Gary, Indiana. The average surgeon there makes almost $15,000 above the national average. Who makes the farthest below average? Waiters and waitresses in Yauco, Puerto Rico, who earn $13,610 a year. Within the 50 states, the big loser would be a counter attendant in a cafeteria or concession stand in Owenboro, Ky., pulling in just $13,810 a year.

Among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, D.C. had far and away the highest average annual salary, at $67,810. Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut followed, all at around $50,000. Puerto Rico has the lowest average annual salary, $24,650 -- despite having a cost of living comparable to the District of Columbia. Among the 50 states, though, South Dakota and Mississippi ranked the lowest, at about $33,000.

Postal workers and models will be happy to know that their average annual pay increased more than anyone else's. Postal workers make 23.2% more than a year ago, bringing them up to an annual salary of $54,550. Models didn't make nearly as much to begin with, but they're up 20.4% to $30,160 a year.

The railroad industry got hit pretty hard. Rail yard engineers, yard engine operators and hostlers now make 14.0% less than they used to, the second-largest drop in pay, to $34,840 from $40,510 Locomotive engineers were hit even harder; they now make 15.4% less than before, though unlike rail yard engineers they still make slightly more than the national average.

America's Best-Paying Jobs (Top 5)
1. Surgeons ($206,770)
2. Anesthesiologists ($197,570)
3. Orthodontists ($194,930)
4. Obstetrician and gynecologists ($192,780)
5. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons ($190,420)

America's Worst-Paying Jobs (Bottom 5)

1. Combined food-preparation and service workers, ($17,400)
2. Cooks, fast food ($17,620)
3. Dishwashers ($17,750)
4. Dining room/cafeteria attendants, bartender helpers ($18,140)
5. Shampooers ($18,300)

la paga es irrelevante

That puts surgeons above anesthesiologists
pero el cirugano se jode mucho mas, el anesteciologo es el menos que hace en todo el equipo...de hecho ni la injeccion pone en la mayoria de los casos. eso es sientate aqui, hablamos mierda, tomate estas cuatro pastillitas al dia y nos vemos en 5 meses

la verdadera pregunta deberia ser "en cual trabajo te jodes mas relativo a la paga"
ser mesero paga mierda pero es facil como paja en cuanto a labor. como mencionaron porahi, los que trabajan en walmart ganan lo mismo pero se joden mas en algunos casos, especialmente los de almacen

Si, pero el anestesiologo te puede matar en un segundo. Sera a simple vista "el menos" que haga pero hay mucho riesgo envuelto.

Correcto. Las demandas por "malpractice" a los anestesiólogos son más numerosas que los morones en la calle.

Si, pq segun la ley de Puerto Rico, el salario minimo de los trabajadores de la industria del servicio de alimentos cuando esten compensandolos con propinas es $2.25/hr. Si el empleado, juntando el salario minimo y las propinas, no llega al minimo federal establecido, el patrono se supone que le iguale el sueldo hasta llegar al minimo federal. El problema es q muchos patronos no hacen eso y/o juntan las propinas en un pote para "inflar" la propina individual y asi no tener q cuadrarle el salario a los empleados.


Cabrones.

Lo dices y no lo sabes. Hay restaurantes donde los meseros ganan en promedio de $25-$30 la hora. Y, si, lo se, hay lugares donde se ganan mucho, y otros donde se ganan menos.

Si, eso lo hacen en muchos restaurantes, y el efecto es que le bajan el total de propinas a los que de verdad prestan un buen servicio. A fin de cuentas, terminas con una sarta de meseros mediocres, pq ninguno se va a querer joder mucho para dar un servicio excelente. Ahora, eso por lo general donde ocurre es en los fast foods glorificados, como Chili's, etc. Un restaurante que se precie del servicio personalizado, permite que sus meseros retengan el total de su propina. El efecto neto es que vas a tener un buen servicio en general.
