Reporter Beats Garbage Collector, Loses to Dish Washer
Posted by Kate Nacy in New Media, Regional Studies on February 3, 2010
News reporter scores low on CareerCast.com’s 2010 job ranking, just ahead of the ever-glamorous stevedore, a career focused on the loading and unloading of cargo.
CareerCast ranked a total of 200 jobs, scoring and separating data among five categories: physical demands, work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook. While actuary, computer scientist and biologist hold leading positions, media-related occupations fall short of the top 50. Publication editor scores highest (at #65), with newspaper reporter creeping in at a lowly #184 and photojournalist bringing in the tail at #189.
