Who is Hiring This Month -- Apply Till the End of December 2010

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' most recent figures, 29 states and Washington, D.C., have lower unemployment rates than they did in 2010. And in the most recently released month-over-month figures, 41 states saw an increase in non-farm employment.

The year's winding down and even if the economy isn't as robust as it was a decade ago, it is certainly healthier than it was a year ago judging by these statistics. This progress, albeit slow, is welcomed by job seekers who remember how bleak the hiring outlook felt a couple of years ago.

And the companies that are hiring aren't necessarily putting their recruitment on hold in December just because it's a busy time of year. In fact, the end of the year presents several opportunities for job seekers. Some companies are preparing to spend their 2011 budgets and want to interview and extend offers to employees now so that they can begin in the new year. Other companies can't wait until next year and need to fill their vacancies now.

10 Top-Paying Jobs Without A Degree

Job-posting siteCareerBuilder recently released the top-paying jobs you can get without a college degree. Take a look at the following results before you begin your job search. (All salaries represent the annual median salary.)

1. Network Administrator: $49,801

If you enjoy tinkering with computers and wireless-network routers, this may be the job for you. Network administrators are responsible for the maintenance of computer hardware and software that make-up a computer network. This normally includes the deployment, configuration, maintenance and monitoring of active network equipment.

2. Police Officer: $47,485

Basic training usually takes about four months and costs roughly $2,000. That would barely pay for one year at many colleges. Be prepared, however, to put up with a lot of jokes about eating doughnuts.

3. Court Reporter: $47,275

If you look forward to serving jury duty and closely follow legal cases, consider a career as a court reporter. It's a recession-proof career with tons of job security, as courts must function in both good times and bad.

4. Clinical Lab Tech: $47,081

The work of a Clinical Lab Technician isn't quite as dramatic as "CSI," but it can still be fascinating if you enjoyed biology and physiology in school. Clinical laboratory testing plays a crucial role in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. You'll need two years of training at a technical college or hospital and many employers prefer applicants who are certified by a recognized professional association.

For a list of accredited and approved educational programs, visit the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences ( www.naacls.org).

5. HVAC Installer: $44,814

If you're good with your hands and have an innate understanding of how things work, heating, venting and air-conditioning installation offers excellent salaries and much job satisfaction. While you'll need certification to get started, training can be completed in as little as nine months and may be done on the job. Three accrediting agencies have set academic standards for HVAC programs: HVAC Excellence; the National Center for Construction Education and Research; and the Partnership for Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Accreditation

6. Computer Numerical Control: $44,629

Basically, this position is a robot programmer for assembly line work that builds everything from automobile engines to computer keyboards. Jobs can be found in areas with a strong manufacturing base. You can qualify through an apprenticeship programs, informally on the job, or in secondary, vocational, or post-secondary schools. Many entry-level employees previously worked as machinists or machine setters, operators and tenders.

7. Solar Energy Installer: $44,460

Considered a "green job, solar photovoltaic (PV) installers are in high demand, thanks to the federal stimulus bill that funneled billions into energy conservation and alternative energy. An even bigger demand for installers is the result of federal tax credits available to homeowners who purchase alternative energy sources.

8. Correctional Officer: $42,795

Prison work can be hazardous, stressful and require shift work, but it pays well and offers a great deal of job security. Local and state prisons often accept high school graduates who have no further training. Be aware, however, that correctional officers have one of the highest rates of nonfatal on-the-job injuries.

9. Security System Installer: $41,417

As prices fall for home and business security systems, Web cams and fire alarms, installation-tech opportunities continue to increase. Training can be completed in less than two weeks, according to the National Alarm Association of America, and cost under $1,000.

10. Aircraft Mechanic: $39,584

Aircraft mechanics earn more than car repair work and requires between 18 months to two years of training. Make sure you receive training from one of the 170 aircraft-mechanic training schools certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (bit.ly/9zxuug).
