While jobs have been gained every month since, lowering the unemployment rate to 10.2% in July 2020, millions of out-of-work Americans are still searching for jobs. Before COVID-19 gutted the economy, the United States' economic landscape was rapidly changing, with health care, computer systems design, and scientific industries leading a push for more employment. On the flip side, industries like wired telecommunications, postal service, and textile production areshowing a rapid decline. With the development of newer and more advanced technologies every day, the job landscape is shifting and so are the pay demands and prerequisite skills. There is astrong correlation between advanced education and a higher salary—workers with higher education levels have higher wages and lower unemployment rates. Of course, it should be noted that obstacles remain for universal access to quality higher education. Using 2019 data (last updated March 31, 2020) from the BLS, Stacker ranked the 100 highest-paying jobs in America. These jobs are ranked according to mean annual wage, with the mean hourly wage used as a tiebreaker. The BLS notes that hourly wages are not included for some positions since some occupations rarely work year-round or full time, or they have a mean hourly wage of over $100. Additionally, any jobs that listed "all other" in the occupation name were excluded from the list, as these are groupings of jobs, and the data may not accurately reflect every job in that grouping. Engineers in a variety of fields make several appearances on the list, as do educators, particularly those working in postsecondary settings. As expected, different medical professionals post a strong showing, along with managers. There are surprises, though; for example, would you have guessed that an art director earns, on average, more than a financial analyst? Stacker breaks down the 100 highest-paying jobs in America and explains what each job entails, what prerequisite skills are required to perform the job, and how one can get a start in each.

In fact, they have provided the scenes for substantial dealmaking, strategic maneuvering, fundraising, and a fair share of backstabbing. More than a few careers have begun—and ended—at political conventions. Conventions have heralded a host of firsts, from the first Black woman to address the floor to the first woman to be nominated for the highest office. Barack Obama made his first significant appearance at a political convention as a young state senator, telling the crowd in Boston that his was an unlikely American story and that his African name meant “blessed.” These forums have given us last looks, as well. A grieving nation paid a tearful tribute to a slain president at a convention in 1964, and venerable figures like Ted Kennedy and Ronald Reagan made poignant farewells on convention stages. Conventions have been the gatherings for setting thought-provoking goals and advocating for political change. Jesse Jackson reminded delegates that the nation was a rainbow of citizens, and Mario Cuomo reminded them that the country was like two cities, one shining and rich, the other desperate and poor. The nation’s division in 1968 was televised in American homes courtesy of the violence-torn Democratic convention in Chicago. Missteps and gaffes have had their roles to play, from Jimmy Carter’s fumbled words to a speech by Melania Trump that raised accusations of plagiarism. Whether they are meetings of power brokers and big-time donors or expensive infomercials bloated with delegate breakfasts and cocktail parties, conventions are milestones that usher in a frenzied season of politicking ahead of the November general election. Candidates introduce themselves, and campaigns strive for enthusiasm and momentum. This year, amid the coronavirus pandemic, conventions will be dramatically different affairs, held virtually and thus without the crowds, the cheers, and the pageantry. The Democratic National Convention is set for Aug. 17–20, followed by the Republican National Convention from Aug. 24–27. Some say this could mark a lasting change in conventions, which might not return to former incarnations. Stacker took a look back at 20 historic moments from the nation’s political conventions over the years, consulting academic accounts, news reports, and the memories of those who were there.
