Analysis Reveals the Loneliest Jobs in America

Remote jobs aren’t the only ones that can cause loneliness. Many positions in America call for independent work, keeping collaboration to a minimum.

A new study is breaking down what job titles and industries are the loneliest on average by collecting data from more than 750,000 Indeed job postings.

Key findings:

• Task associates, who stock merchandise at stores, have the loneliest job in America.

• Paralegals, attorneys, and analysts have some of the highest loneliness scores.

• Jobs in government, law, public safety, corrections, and environment industries are among the loneliest.

• Out of the top 20 loneliest jobs, 5 are senior-level positions, which may mean some career fields get lonelier the higher you climb the ladder.

• People working military jobs are the least likely to be lonely.
