The 13 highest-paying jobs for people who want to work less than 40 hours per week
As a result, more Americans are feeling overworked.
To find jobs that allow you to maintain work-life balance but still get paid well, we analyzed US Census data for about 478 occupations distilled by the Minnesota Population Center's 2013 American Community Survey Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.
According to this data, the average working American logs about 39 hours a week, and the median earned income - a sum of wage, salary, and business income - across all occupations is $32,000.
While some may work more or less than the average depending on their employer or where they are in their career, people with the following professions report typically working an average of less than 40 hours a week and earning at least $50,000 a year.
