"There's no question that emerging technologies designed to grow and scale business, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation are having an impact on the types of jobs employers are hiring for across the country.

"With such a healthy job market kicking off 2019, we're seeing many of these Best Jobs open for people to apply to and get hired at employers across all industries and in all areas of the country."

As reported in a recent Glassdoor Economic Research study, Job Market Trends: Five Hiring Disruptions to Watch in 2019, America's workers are getting older and by 2035, there will likely be more retirees than children, a first in U.S. history. With Glassdoor Chief Economist Dr. Andrew Chamberlain predicting future labor shortages due to more baby boomers leaving the workforce, the demand for highly-skilled health care professionals will only continue to rise as more Americans require more intensive medical attention.
