Was checking the Bureau of Labor Statistics site and stumbled on this:
"Twenty-four newly defined occupations are included in this release.
Computer network support specialists was the largest, with employment
of 167,980 in May 2012. The highest paid new occupation was nurse
anesthetists, with an annual mean wage of $154,390."
We hear a lot about the jobs which are lost to technology. (I stumbled on one 19th century article noting that binders and shockers (for wheat), considered skilled labor, were no longer needed given the development of machine reapers. ) And I'm struck by the salary for the anesthetists.
