Do you love your job? Do you think it’s one of the best jobs out there? Or, are you stuck in one of the worst jobs?

Well, CareerCast used a variety of factors to put together two lists of the best and worst jobs of 2013.

Based on a wide range of aspects, which they categorized into four “Core Criteria:” environment, income, outlook, and stress. Additionally, each includes a range of sub-categories.

Environment includes emotional and physical factors like competitiveness and physical demands. Income is determined by adding the estimated mid-level income for each job to the income growth potential. Outlook is based on a ranking system based on three factors: employment growth, income growth outlook, and unemployment outlook. Stress is based on a combination of 11 factors such as travel, growth potential, deadlines, environmental conditions, and life risk.

Together, these criteria led to determining the best and worst jobs of 2013. The data for each job comes from the U.S. Department of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), other governmental agencies, trade associations, and private survey firms.

Here are the best and worst jobs of 2013 (with median income and growth outlook):
