2011年度最佳职业 软件工程师-凯发k8官网

the year 2011 is the best of times for software engineers and the worst of times for roustabouts, according to a survey of the nation's best and worst jobs released on wednesday.

根据本周三发布的2011年度最佳和最差职业调查，软件工程师获评最佳职业，而石油钻台工人则排名垫底。

software engineers have the top jobs, thanks to the exploding demand for ^{1 2}（小配件，小工具） and the appetite for applications for ipods, tablets and other devices, said the survey by online jobs site careercast.com.

software engineers enjoy a strong outlook for employment, low stress, few physical demands and good wages, it said.

roustabouts（码头工人） , on the other hand, who are oil rig or gas ³ workers, have the worst job, it said.

a roustabout's job is dangerous, as shown by the explosion aboard the transocean ltd. oil drilling rig in the ⁴ of mexico that killed 11 workers in april.

roustabouts routinely work 12-hour shifts in tough conditions, it said.

the top five jobs, which include ⁵, actuary（保险精算师） , statistician and computer systems, typically pay more than twice as much as the lowest jobs -- $83,777 compared to $30,735 per year.

the least desirable jobs along with roustabout for 2011 are iron worker, lumberjack（伐木工人） , roofer and taxi driver, it said.

careercast evaluated 200 professions based on pay, environment, hiring outlook, stress and physical demands, using data from the u.s. bureau of ⁶ statistics, the ⁷ bureau and trade association studies.

to determine the amount of stress in a job, for example, the study looked at such factors as whether an employee's life was at risk or the number of deadlines and travel.
