Money magazine is out with its latest list of the "best" jobs in the U.S. for 2006! In doing so however, we once again have an example of a mainstream media outlet whose idea of putting information online only involves reproducing the same list they put in their print edition. Is that really good enough in this day and age? We here at Political Calculations say "No, we're mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore!"
Okay, we're not quite that angry, but we're motivated enough to take matters into our own hands. That's why we've taken Money's list of the best jobs in the United States and reproduced it below - but unlike Money magazine's version, we've put it into a dynamic table format that you may use to sort the list according to what you might like to see. Want to find the lowest paying job on the list? Just click the "Average Salary and Bonus" column heading! Want to rank the jobs according to their 10-year growth prospects? Click the "10-Year Forecast Job Growth" column heading! And, if you want to rank them in reverse order, just click the appropriate column heading again!
At some point, we realize that the MSM folk will catch on and start producing their own dynamic tables, but in the meantime, we're happy to provide more functional versions of the lists they produce....
