How Employees Rank Their Jobs
Today the economy is stronger than it has been for several years and there are many job opportunities in the labor market. It is not surprising then that workers' expectations and requirements are high as they search for the perfect job. The position, salary, and conditions of a job must meet the workers' prerequisites.
In a recent survey commissioned by the Labor Department, fifty thousand employees throughout the country were asked to rank the desirability of 250 jobs in today's market. The criteria used to rank these jobs were environment, income, security, stress, and physical demands.
Four of the five top-ranked jobs were connected to the high-tech industry, namely Web site manager, computer systems analyst, software engineer, and computer programmer. Meanwhile, jobs involving difficult working conditions, like long hours, heavy lifting, or an element of danger, were ranked toward the bottom of the list; the bottom five were taxi-driver, dancer, cowboy, construction worker, and fisherman.
Some critics argue that other criteria should have been included in this list. However, the results of the survey indicate that more and more people see jobs related to computers and the Internet as the way to go in their employment search.

(A) jobs related to the high-tech industry
(B) different working conditions
(C) things that people want in a workplace
(D) the criteria used for ranking jobs
I answer D
