3. General & Operations Managers
Unlike the management positions we’ve mentioned already on this list, a General Manager or an Operations Manager is often one step up from a regular manager. For example, there may be a manager in the store of a town, and a general manager overseeing every store in the county or state. This is a lot of responsibility, and their salary is usually an average of $100,930 per year because of that fact.
In 2018, there were 2,376,400 jobs for general and operations managers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projected that there will be 2,541,400 jobs in the field by 2028. This is an additional 165,000 jobs over a 10-year period.
