Each year, the job-search company Glassdoor compiles a list of the 25 best jobs. At the top of the list this year are data scientist, tax manager, solutions architect and engagement manager -- and they all boast salaries of more than $100,000.

The emphasis on salary “shouldn’t be a surprise,” said Scott Dobroski, a community expert at Glassdoor. “Salary is tied into all of our livelihoods.”

In fact, salary and compensation is the single most sought-after quality of a new job based on Glassdoor research; 68% of job seekers consider it.

But as Nobel-prize winning Princeton economist Angus Deaton and psychologist Daniel Kahneman famously found, workers’ day-to-day happiness rises until they reach a $75,000 salary, at which point their happiness plateaus.
