美网站公布职业排行榜

Careercast.com is out with its list of best and worst jobs of 2012. It’s bad news for the writer of this story, but much brighter for the folks who program the code that keeps this website humming.

日前，美国招聘网站Careercast.com公布全美最佳和最差工作排行榜。这份榜单对媒体从业者来说真是个坏消息，但对IT工程师来说前景一片大好。

Using a methodology（方法学） that looked at physical demands, work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook, career Website Careercast.com, ranked the top 200 jobs. They also ranked the jobs with the most stress. Not surprisingly, none of the most stressful jobs show up on the best jobs list.

At the top is software engineer and at the bottom is the lumberjack（伐木工人） . Felling trees failed to skate above the bottom 10 percent in all ranking categories, excluding income. "Unemployment for lumberjacks is very high, and the demand for their services is expected to continue to fall through 2016. And while working outside all day may seem like a great job perk（小费） , being a lumberjack not only is considered the worst job, but also one of the world's most dangerous," according to Careercast.com.

And, for that most dangerous job, expect to earn a little more than $32,000 a year. That's about $56,000 less than the cushy（轻松的） job of a software engineer, which has the average salary at $88,000 a year, according to Careercast.

Here's a complete look at the best and worst jobs. And, take a look at the most stressful jobs. You may be surprised.
