# Employee Wage Infographics The 'What are the Most Lucrative Industries?' Infographic Compares Sala By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-12-26 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-are-the-most-lucrative-industries References: [awesome.good.is.s3.amazonaws](http://awesome.good.is.s3.amazonaws.com/transparency/web/1212/open-for-business/flash.html) The 'What are the Most Lucrative Industries?' infographic compares the everyday jobs of American workers. Ranking in the number one spot, the financial investment sector hauls in the big bucks. Though not an altogether surprising winner, this number does account for more than the Wall Street types. Making honorable appearances in the top ten are dentists, lawyers and private medical workers. Most people have a clear idea of what industries fare the best, but what is most intriguing about this infographic is its discussion of what's coming up in the future. Home health care services, individual and family services and management, scientific and technical consulting services are expected to experience above a 50% growth in the next eight years proving that the industries on top today may not necessarily be on top in 2020. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Growth in Home Health Care Services:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in improving and expanding home-based healthcare services. - **Rise in Individual and Family Services:** Potential for disruptive innovation in creating innovative and personalized services for families and individuals. - **Growth in Scientific and Technical Consulting Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in developing advanced consulting services and solutions in the scientific and technical fields. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Financial Investment Sector:** Potential disruption opportunities in leveraging technology and automation to streamline financial investment processes. - **Dentistry:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the dental industry through the use of advanced technology and new treatment methods. - **Legal Services:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in legal services through the adoption of artificial intelligence, automation, and online platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Career Decision Dashboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perspectives.md) - [Innovative Financial Visualization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/financial-visualization-tool.md) - [Restaurant Worker Healthcare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concorde.md) - [AI Infographic Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infographic-ai.md) - [Career Growth Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/careercodeit.md) - [Job Offer Analyzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/careercomps.md) - [Tech Job Aggregator Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/career-hound.md) - [Toronto Restaurant Healthcare Benefits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hug.md) - [Community Behavioral Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comprehensive-healthcare.md)
