The top 30 most in-demand jobs :

With the new “tripledemic” and the burnout in the medical field after three years of relentless challenges, it’s hardly surprising that the role of Nurse heads the top 30 list for most in-demand jobs. What is surprising is how the average advertised salary for this role has dropped 10% since 2021. If demand for these medical professionals remains high, as it’s expected to do, the salary offerings will need to keep pace.

Delivery Drivers again take second place, with 222,369 open positions with this job title in 2022. Sales Support Assistant, Customer Service Representative and Delivery Trucker round out the top five roles with the biggest vacancies.
