Technology jobs dominate this year's rankings of the happiest jobs in the United States. Overall, the rankings, compiled by online career community CareerBliss, show the career with the highest happiness ranking is database administrator1. Additionally, three other tech jobs — quality-assurance engineer, software developer and program manager — rank in the top 10. The prominent ranking of tech jobs is a new trend this year, said Matt Miller2, chief technology officer and co-founder of CareerBliss.
科技行业的工作在今年美国的十大最快乐工作排行榜上占了好几名。总体上讲,这个由美国职业导航网站CareerBliss发布的排行榜显示,排在最快乐工作榜首的是数据库管理员。另外,科技行业的其他三种工作--品质保证工程师、软件开发人员以及项目经理,也排在前十名以内。CareerBliss万展首席技术官马特·米勒说,科技行业有这么多工作进入最快乐工作的前十名,是今年的一个新趋势。
"As we have seen over the years, technology jobs continue to grow in the marketplace," Miller said. "The influx3 of these kinds of positions makes sense as the landscape of our world continues to change, and are indicative of individuals' desire to enhance their own knowledge in an industry that offers more and more professional education."
“正如我们这几年看到的那样,科技行业的工作数量和种类不断增长。”米勒说:“此类工作不断涌入市场,对不断变化的世界前景重大意义。同时这也显出在能够提供更多专业教育的行业里个体对提高自己知识水平的渴望。”
To form the rankings, CareerBliss analyzed4 more than 25,000 independent company reviews to determine from which jobs people derive5 the most happiness. Specifically, CareerBliss evaluated the key factors that influence people's happiness at work, including their supervisor6 and co-workers, the support and rewards they receive, the growth opportunities available to them, the company culture and the way they work and handle their daily tasks.
