Any conclusions?
After comparing the top 10 best paying jobs in the UK, the USA, Spain and Germany we can notice one thing:
The industries which offer the top 10 highest paid jobs are not the same for every country. An example, while in the USA the healthcare sector takes the lead with the top job as physician, in Germany no healthcare-related job can be found in the top 10 jobs. Germany’s focus lies instead more on business-related jobs.
In a nutshell, which are the best firms to work for? Well, the most desirable employers that offer highly-paid jobs with a bright future in all these four countries can be found in the following industries: healthcare, IT, legal, business, transportation and hospitality.
