Top Jobs Indiana showcases high-demand, high-wage careers that offer strong job opportunities both now and in the future.
This site is designed to help individuals identify long-term, rewarding careers using a data-driven methodology that ranks Indiana occupations based on demand and job quality.
Whether you're entering the workforce, changing careers, or rejoining the job market, the Top Jobs page serves as a valuable resource for informed decision-making and effective career planning.
Top Jobs provides a single source for data-driven, employer-based labor market information for the state. All 867 federally-defined occupations are indexed relative to each other for each of the indicators below, aggregate scores are calculated based on the weights assigned to each indicator, then the aggregate score is converted to a rank between 1 and 5, with 5 representing the most in-demand occupations. Finally, an earnings threshold is applied to prioritize the middle- and high- skill occupations that support the state’s economic growth and lead towards increased household wealth.
Top Jobs data is based on Lightcast data and will be updated twice per year, in the fall and the spring. Additional details on the methodology and more granular data will be released in the coming months.
