The best and worst entry-level jobs of 2015 have been revealed in a new study by WalletHub.
The personal finance resource site conducted the US study by comparing 109 individual professions against 11 key points, including starting salaries and projected job growth to the amount of people working over 40 hours a week and the number of occupational fatalities per 100,000 employees.
Training Specialist was revealed as the no. 1 entry-level job, with an unemployment rate of 3.3% and average starting salary of $47,621 (£31,737) while the worst was shown to be a Floor Assembler position.
Subsequently, Floor Assembler appeared on the top 5 lowest starting salaries statistics alongside Certified Nursing Assistant and College Teaching Assistant. The top 5 highest starting salaries were shown to consist almost exclusively of Attorney positions, including Tax Attorney and Employment Law Attorney.
The study also looked at the most and least job openings as a key factor with Engineer coming out as no. 1 in the top 5 for the most available jobs. The top 5 least available jobs include Aircraft Painter, Geophysicist and Computer Numeric Control Machine Programmer.
