Mathematician = #1 Job

Job search site CareerCast is out with its ranking of the best jobs of 2014, and "mathematician" tops the list.

CareerCast evaluated income, outlook, environmental factors, stress, and physical demands to arrive at its rankings, and identified mathematician as the best job primarily because of the robust hiring demand from educational institutions, corporations, government agencies, and non-profits.

The math-intensive jobs of statistician and actuary ranked #3 and #4, respectively. 

Read CareerCast's or Business Insider's or Time's coverage—or Vox's caution to take the rankings with a grain of salt.
