Is it easy or hard to fill entry-level jobs at your company? These 10 jobs are likely the hardest entry-level ones to fill. They're certainly the worst, according to how WalletHub ranked and rated them. It went through 109 different entry-level jobs and evaluated them all in three basic categories—immediate opportunity, growth potential and job hazards—based on 13 different metrics that include such factors as occupational viability—whether the job itself will survive or be subsumed by AI—median annual salary, median tenure with employer, fatal occupational injuries and the need to put in a typical work week of more than 40 hours. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing the most favorable conditions for entry-level workers. Once all those factors were considered, WalletHub scored each job based on how well it does as a first job, and points out that in some cases workers might end up having to do some jobhopping to boost salary, get the right kind—or any, for that matter—training, move up from entry level or work their way into a position of challenge and responsibility. With all that in mind, here we present what WalletHub says are the 10 worst entry-level jobs, so future candidates can be warned and plan their strategy accordingly.
