29 of the highest-paying business jobs in America
It's no secret that some of the highest-paying gigs in America are in finance, management, and sales.
To find out exactly which business professions pay the most, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recently sifted through its 2015 salary data - and then looked at job outlook and average hours worked for each high-paying career.
For its recent "Business careers with high pay" report, the BLS highlighted the top-paying occupations in each of the following five categories: business operations, financial specialist, management, sales, and "other."
All wages in this report represent pay before taxes and payroll deductions, however some types of incentive pay, such as commissions, production bonuses, and tips, are included.
Below are 29 of the highest-paying business jobs in America. All have a median annual pay of more than $60,000 a year and have a bright future, according to the BLS:
