Popular U.S. Jobs: Top and Bottom 10 Ever wondered which professions have the highest levels of employment and which are so obscure (or awesome) that very few people work in them? Luckily the Labour Department is here to answer those pressing questions.Among the jobs that employed greater than 700,000 were occupations such as retail salespersons, waiters and waitresses and elementary school teachers, according to the report on occupational employment and wages for 2009, released Friday. The 40 jobs on the list account for 46% of total employment. The 10 largest make up 20% of total employment.Most of the largest occupations were relatively low paying. Thirty of the 40 occupations...had average wages below the U.S. mean of $20.90 per hour or $43,460 annually, the Labor Department notes. Cashiers and combined food preparation and serving workers were among the largest professions and paid the lowest wages.The lowest-employment professions were a much more diverse mix. Among them: historians, motorboat operators, commercial divers and radio operators. These fields, which included 4,000 or fewer workers, made up less than 0.1% of U.S. employment.Their salaries ran the gamut as well. Nineteen of the 42 smallest occupations earned above-average salaries (such as the commercial divers), whereas 17 had below-average wages. Six jobs were about on target with the average.Heres the Labor Departments full list of the biggest - and teeniest - occupations. 在美国，哪些工作的从业人数最多，而哪些工作放眼全国都没多少人干？美国劳工部(Labor Department)刚刚发布的数据能解答这些问题。据劳工部上周五发布的2009年就业及工资报告显示，那些从业人数超过70万人的工种包括零售店店员、服务员以及小学教师等。排名前40的工种吸纳了美国46%的劳动力，而前10大工种的更是消化了美国20%的劳动力。劳工部指出，从业人员最多的岗位绝大多数都是低薪职位，在40大工种中有30个的平均薪酬达不到时薪20.90美元、年薪43,460美元的全美平均工资标准。收银员、配餐工及服务生在从业人员中占据了最高比例，但他们的薪资也最低。而从业人数最少的工种五花八门，包括：历史学家、摩托艇驾驶员、商业潜水员、无线电报务员等。这些工种的就业人数至多4000人，占美国总劳动力资源的不到千分之一。这些工种的工资水平也高低不一。在从业人数最少的42个岗位中，19个的薪酬高于平均水平（比如商业潜水员），17个在平均线下，还有6个正好在平均水平浮动。 美国从业人数最多和从业人数最少的10大工种 从业人数最多的10大工种 工种美国的从业人数工资中位数（时新）工资中位数（年薪）零售店店员4,20
