Bangalore: Thanks to the reviving economic fortunes, the job market has begun a distinctly ungraceful recovery. Presently, numerous jobs have been added to the economy for several straight months and most gauges seem to have been back at the pre-recession levels, which is a positive sign. But unfortunately, the job growth isn’t as robust as most people hoped for and projections suggest it will likely to take at least two more years to regain the millions of jobs lost during the great recession.

One thing that recession has taught us is that, not all job prospects are created equal and in fact some are better than the rest. The better jobs offer a manageable work-life balance, magnitude of employment opportunities, handsome pay package and most of all, job security. Here is a list of such jobs that offers the right mix of the above mentioned components and is projected to have the best growth prospects in 2013, as reported by Terrence Loose on Yahoo Education.
