For several years over the past decade, a day spent examining and fixing teeth was considered to be the "best job" in the United States, according to US News & World Report's annual survey. This year, a job that requires tech savviness and scientific know-how tops the list.
The best job in 2018 is that of a software developer, according to the annual ranking, which uses data from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics to identify jobs with the greatest hiring demand and the best work/life balance, salary and future prospects, among other factors.
