When it comes to determining the most in-demand trades for 2020, money talks. That's why the trades which made the list below did so.

Here are the top five that draw the biggest paycheques.
Combining school, experience, and passion into a lifelong career, becoming a construction manager is no easy feat. But the time it takes to become one is worth it. With a median hourly wage of $40/hr and over 28,000 projected job openings, this is a trade you certainly want to consider.
Commonly referred to as a steamfitter as well, pipefitters are set to make a median hourly wage of $36/hr with 7,100 projected job openings coming up. A lot of those currently in the trade describe pipefitting as one of the most interesting trades out there, combining design and hands on work into one high paying job.
