I have 'the best job in America' - here's what it's like
"It isn't a big surprise," Dr. Andrew Chamberlain, Glassdoor's chief economist, told Business Insider. "It's one of the hottest and fastest growing jobs we're seeing right now.
"Since all companies have an online presence these days, they all need people who know how to manage and store data that helps them make better business decisions, compared to years ago when businesses didn't have data management at their fingertips to review and analyze to help them drive business forward. I expect this to continue to be a hot job for several years to come, too," he explained.
Glassdoor's Best Jobs in America ranking list was based on earning potential (median annual base salary), career-opportunities rating, and number of job openings for each occupation.
