22 jobs where people make far more now than they would have ten years ago by Rachel Gillett and Andy Kiersz on Jul 29, 2016, 2:37 PM Advertisement
 It's to be expected that with the rising cost of living, pay increases would follow suit. This, however, isn't always the case, as some occupations see significant drops in wages, and others see significantly bigger increases than one might expect. To find the careers with the biggest boost in salary over a decade, we took a look at the BLS's occupational employment and wages data from 2005 and 2015, adjusted the 2005 wage data for inflation, and calculated the percent of increase in average annual wages. While the average wage increase (adjusted for inflation) since 2005 is about 5%, here are 22 jobs where people make at least 20% more now than they would have ten years ago: SEE ALSO: 22 jobs where people make far less now than they would have ten years ago DON'T MISS 30 jobs that are quickly disappearing in the US  Theatrical and performance makeup artists Percent increase in wages: 67.91% Annual average wage in 2005, adjusted for inflation: $39,639 Annual average wage 2015: $66,560 Dollars more in wages: $26,921 People who held this job in 2005: 1,070 People who held this job in 2015: 3,060
