This is a pretty big deal for a job category that does not even have a Bureau of Labor Statistics code.
CNN and Money cited personal satisfaction, future growth and benefit to society as major reasons why being an intelligence analyst was such a good job. Job security was considered good but not great and the high stress of the job was cited as the major negative factor.
The report focused only on intel analyst jobs in the US government but did appear to include those analysts who work for contractors who support the US national security intelligence community. The study estimated that there were 51,000 analyst positions in the USG (which sounds a little high, even with the contractors thrown in...).
Fun fact #1: I looked at all of the top ten jobs and each already had a number off comments sent in by readers. The only job category not to have any comments was ... you guessed it ... intel analyst.
Fun fact #2: College professor came in at #3. If this were the BCS, then I would have the best job in America!

The best job in America is the one that you love to do, Kris. Judging from what I observed while at MCIIS, I'd say you already have the best job in the U.S.!
