The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on Australia's employment landscape, with highly paid jobs in select fields currently experiencing a surge in demand.
Digitisation and the rise of working from home have seen employers crying out for someone to fill jobs that pay between $50,000 and $240,000 a year - and a degree might not be required.
A report released by LinkedIn on Tuesday found human resources and technology roles are on the rise, according to data analysed up to July 2021.

HR came out on top, with those capable of working as a chief human resources officer now ranked as Australia's most sought-after employees, with vacancies offering up to $240,000 a year for the right employee.
In second place, machine learning engineers - information technology workers specialising in artificial intelligence - are being sought for jobs ranging from $50,000 to $229,000 depending on skills, with most averaging 4.5 years experience in tech.
Other in-demand IT jobs include site reliability engineers, power system engineers and data engineers, who can rake in up to $176,000 a year.
