<font color=skyblue>I have a homework assignment where I have to find a list of the top ten careers that can be had in North Carolina. The professor did not specify exactly what details went into being considered "top", and said he was doing that on purpose to see what we'd find.

I have been searching the net, and cannot find any lists. Anyone know where to look?</font>

I'd try here.

It let's you filter by
Fastest-growing occupations
Occupations with the most openings
Occupations with the largest employment
Occupations with declining employment
Highest-paying occupations

<font color=skyblue>Thanks! That looks better than anything I was finding. </font>
