Median Pay: $101,050
People who are working as economists that rank 8th on the list of low stress jobs with high pay are interpreting and forecasting market trends. But, despite that, they are also studying the production and distribution of goods, resources, and services while analyzing data and evaluating economic issues. Most of them are working in an office, independently, but they are also often collaborating with other statisticians and economists. Most of the economists have a master’s degree or Ph.D. but, there are some entry level jobs which are accepting with a bachelor’s degree, like the federal government.
