According to CareerCast.com, a web site that annually releases the best – and worst – jobs across America, the worst job to have in 2013 is that of a newspaper reporter.

Probably no surprise to those in the industry, a job as a newspaper reporter ranks lower than lumberjacks, dairy farmers, mail carriers and enlisted military personnel.

“A job that has lost its luster dramatically over the past five years is expected to plummet even further by 2020,” Paul Gillin says. “The print model is not sustainable. It will probably be gone within the next 10 years.”

The top 10 worst jobs for 2013 are:

1. Newspaper Reporter
2. Lumberjack
3. Enlisted Military Personnel
4. Actor
5. Oil Rig Worker
6. Dairy Farmer
7. Meter Reader
8. Mail Carrier
9. Roofer
10. Flight Attendant

On the other side of the scale, the best job to have in 2013 is an Actuary.

According to the report: “Those skilled in mathematics and statistical analysis can find rewarding opportunities as an actuary. The career is challenging, and becoming an actuary requires passing a series of three exams. It’s also constantly evolving.”

The entire list is below of best jobs in 2013:

1. Actuary
2. Biomedical Engineer
3. Software Engineer
4. Audiologist
5. Financial Planner
6. Dental Hygienist
7. Occupational Therapist

  1. I never wanted to be a newspaper reporter. I wanted to be…a LUMBERJACK! Leaping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers on British Columbia!

    The giant redwood!
    The larch!
    The fir!
    The mighty Scots pine!

  2. How come actuary is the best job? Financially, it might be, but on the other hand a newspaper reporter doesnt earn the lowest wages so this can't be it

  3. Being a reporter is definitely less "fun" than it was a few years ago. I find it extremely annoying that it's really hard to know which information is true and trustworthy and which isn't

    • ;Annoying? Then no post this crap & read real info, like KITV's report to give them more time @ Capitol officials said Monday that lawmakers extended procedures for conference committees to create a 1-hour window for House and Senate legislators to consider certain bills.

      The lawmakers planned to meet Monday afternoon.

      The bills include three education bills. One changes Hawaii's charter schools laws, another prohibits seclusion in schools and a third changes the salary cap for the state's superintendent.

      • As a reporter, I can say the most frustrating part of my job is dealing with hostile readers and I think this is what lina meant in his/her comment. Some people go as far as stalking or threatening you just because they don't like what you wrote in the article, no matter how well informed you were

  4. It is not easy to be a web developer and an SEO professional in the current scenario, because of the regularly changing algorithm of Google. Therefore, I will like to add both these jobs in the list of worst jobs.

  5. some time some people find a famous on line writing service. But some time he don't found a great on line writer. I have good information like this people. Now superior paper write quality content for the people. It is really hot service at present.

  6. A job that has lost its luster dramatically over the past five years is expected to plummet even further by 2020," Paul Gillin says. “The print model is not sustainable. It will probably be gone within the next 10 years.”

  7. First of all, key phrase or keyword research is considered the most significant part of the search engine optimization services. Next comes the submission part of website URL to the search engines and to the industry specific directories. click reference link

  8. I have read this post and I think it is very much useful to know the worst jobs that were in 2013. I don’t know why these jobs were labeled under this category. Anyway thank you very much for sharing this post. sell air miles

  9. Remember, getting an cost-effective SEO assistance from any company out there are not aspects you need, instead you need to create sure that you get an cost-effective SEO assistance from a company that is certified in the alternatives so it provides. https://www.rightingourconsent.com/
