2023 Job Market Outlook: Tech Takes the Lead as 8 Out of 10 Top Positions are in Demand

In the United States, technology roles dominate the list of the best jobs for 2023, according to Indeed on January 24, 2023, a job search website. Out of the top ten, eight are tech positions, with full-stack developers, data engineers, cloud engineers, senior product managers, back-end developers, site reliability engineers, machine learning engineers, and product designers all making the cut. The only non-tech jobs in the top ten are those of psychiatric nurses and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners.

The demand for technology skills is not limited to the traditional tech sector, as industries such as retail, finance, professional services, travel, and tourism also require technologists to build and maintain their online presence. Scott Dobroski, indeed’s career trends expert, stated, “The tech skill set is very much in demand by companies everywhere.” “Because every company today is a tech company.”

The ranking is based on “opportunity” for job seekers, which means the roles had to be fast-growing. Full-stack developers have the highest share among other jobs, with 1,398 positions available out of every million listings advertised on Indeed. All jobs on the list pay annual salaries that are above the national average, and at least 10% of their advertised positions offer remote or hybrid work, which is an increasingly important aspect for American workers.
