The declining popularity of traditional media forms is contributing to decreased revenue for news networks -- leading to job cuts and restructuring efforts across the entire industry. The 13% projected employment decline among broadcasters is the worst employment outlook of any occupation on this list.

Broadcasters -- particularly those covering politics -- are perhaps now more than ever facing greater levels of stress. According to CareerCast, as political discourse in the U.S. has become more polarized, news organizations and broadcasters are under perhaps greater scrutiny than ever before. Compounded by tight deadlines, the job of a broadcaster is also relatively stressful.
