The Most Common Jobs in America According to Stacker

"Keeping America's economy moving would be impossible without office workers, package handlers, food prep workers, and truck drivers. Stacker analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to determine the 50 most common jobs in America. Jobs are ranked by total U.S. employment (excluding self-employed workers) as of the May 2020 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates report (released on March 30, 2021, and the most recent data available). Only detailed job categories were included in the dataset. The 10 largest occupations in America employ some 30 million workers. Most jobs on the list don't require much beyond a high school diploma, but some can require years of schooling, certification, and state or federal licensing. Read on for Stacker's list of the 50 most common jobs in America." - stacker.com
