The Top 21 Highest-Paying Jobs in Portland, Oregon!
It’s no surprise that the country is in a tight spot economically. Many people are looking for work, and many more places are hiring. Add to that the fact that so many people are moving for various reasons; everyone has the same goal, to strive for a better life.
With so many people moving to Portland, Oregon, I thought I’d take a look at what the work compared to pay is for that area and those fields in particular. Of course, looking at the list, it’s not surprising that jobs in the medical field are the highest paid. In fact, 9 of the top 10 jobs with the highest pay rate are all medical. CEO is up there (big surprise), but number 12 surprised me, especially with that career taking you away from Portland all the time… FOR YOUR JOB.
