Technology jobs tumbled from the top of Indeed’s 2024 Best Jobs list, as healthcare and engineering positions overtook the most sought after roles.

Just one tech role, data engineer, landed in the top 10 at No. 10, thanks to an average yearly salary of $130,035. By comparison, technology commanded a half dozen roles in the company’s top 10 best jobs for 2023. Job posts for data engineers increased 2% year over year.

The annual list tracks demand and compensation for jobs that have an average base salary of at least $75,000. At least 10% of postings include remote or hybrid working provisions. Roles are also ranked by the number of positions on its jobs board for every million total postings.

The drop-off of tech jobs in the list followed a similar dynamic to the one that shaped tech hiring in recent years. Employers spent years hiring as many tech workers as they could find, a trend that unfolded as economic conditions soured.
