A number of studies show Americans work longer than residents of almost every other nation. In particular, compared with most large nations in Europe, the American workweek can stretch as long as a week above many of the most well-developed nations. Glassdoor has come up with a list of 25 jobs that have a good “work-life balance,” as its researchers see it.

The jobs were rated based on a five-point scale on which a 1 was “very dissatisfied” and a 5 was “very satisfied.” Glassdoor researchers commented:

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be tough in today’s work environment, but some jobs allow for more flexibility than others. In fact, work-life balance has decreased in recent years, as employees have reported an average work-life balance satisfaction rating of 3.5 in 2009, 3.4 in 2012, and 3.2 thus far in 2015.

The figure is based on reviews posted on the Glassdoor site:

Average work-life balance ratings based on at least 60,000 company reviews shared by employees per calendar year. For 2015, rating represents calendar year to date (1/1/15-10/13/15).

Among the most notable results is that the jobs varied widely in pay level. At one end of the spectrum among the 25 jobs, data scientists made $114,808 a year. At the other end, substitute teachers made $24,380. For a family of four people, that is just above the poverty line.

Of the 25, half or more are technology or technology-related jobs. These include software developer, data analyst, software QA engineer, web developer, UX designer and data scientist. All these jobs are well paid.
