If you love all things computers, you're in luck – many of the 10 top jobs of 2019 are in the IT and software development fields, according to Monster's 2019 Mid-Year Jobs Report.

"With top jobs including software developers -- with a median salary of $99,181 -- followed by product demonstrators and computer support specialists, the range of opportunities available is endless," says Monster career expert Vicki Salemi. But the top jobs are not just in the IT and related fields – the list also includes a variety of roles such as maintenance repair workers, truck drivers and registered nurses. "Considering the list is not exclusive to only one industry, this is excellent news if you're looking to change your career path," Salemi says. So far this year, the health care industry still tops the charts as the most popular industry, Salemi says. "This tells us it has been a chart topper for a while and isn't going anywhere," she says. "So, if your current industry is waning or you need a change -- or a combination of both, look to pivot to in-demand industries, like health care." That can mean one of two things: pivot into health care itself by training to become qualified to be a pharmaceutical representative, registered nurse or physical therapist, among other health care professions, Salemi says. "Or, remain in your career path and pivot into the industry," she says. "For example, if you work in marketing for a media company, perhaps you can take your portable skill sets into marketing within health care." The 10 top companies so far this year are Advantage Solutions Group Inc. (in the business services industry); Honeywell Manufacturing (electrical and electronic manufacturing); Johnson Controls Inc. (mechanical and industrial engineering); U.S. Army (defense); UPS (logistics and supply chain); Mercy Health (health care); Brookdale (health care); Pfizer (pharmaceuticals); NTT Data (IT); and Walgreens (retail). "When we look at companies and the entire results, we need to not look at them in silos, and instead, see how they interact with one another," Salemi says. "For instance, health care is the most popular industry of the year, so it makes sense it appears on this list relevant to top companies." The 10 top cities for jobs so far this year are New York, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, Dallas, Washington, DC, St. Louis, Charlotte, NC and Boston. St. Louis and Charlotte are new to the list this year for top cities, Salemi says. Most jobs in St. Louis were driven by healthcare, while most jobs in Charlotte were driven by the growth of automotive manufacturing. While it's not surprising to see cities such as New York, Houston, Atlanta and Chicago on the list, the emergence of St. Louis and Charlotte open the door for job seekers to think outside the more traditional grids where competition is fierce, such as New York City, she says. "Yes, you should still apply to positions in these hot markets, but St. Louis and Charlotte are cities to watch, Salemi says. "Go where the opportunities are available. I wouldn't be surprised in future years if we see additional cities on the list such as Austin, Detroit and more." As work-life balance is a priority for many job seekers -- recent Monster data found that two-thirds of women look for this as a top priority when job seeking -- ob seekers may discover more opportunities in these cities with the ability to work out of the home office or remotely, depending on the type of job, she says "Another interesting city to note is Los Angeles," Salemi says. "This year, Los Angeles came off the list and although MSA ranks very high, the city itself was not a top generator. In fact, cities around Los Angeles tend to drive growth more than the city itself!"
