The U.S. is on track to add 8.4 million new jobs by 2031, with nearly one-third of those jobs in healthcare or social assistance, according to a recent release from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Advanced practice providers, employee experience managers, sales enablement specialists and truck drivers are some of the most sought-after positions in the country, according to LinkedIn‘s annual Jobs on the Rise list — and all of them have the potential to earn well over six figures.
