US troops are heading north to train on what could be the next World War battlefield

[US Marines Norway]REUTERS/Stoyan Nenov * Exercise Cold Response 2020 will see some 7,500 US troops team up with other NATO forces in Norway to practice for a clash with Russia in the high north. * The exercise reflects the growing military focus on the Arctic, where a potential conflict would have much larger geopolitical and nuclear dimensions. * Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.  In early March, an estimated 7,500 American combat troops will travel to Norway to join thousands of soldiers from other NATO countries in a massive mock battle with imagined invading forces from Russia. In this futuristic simulated engagement — it goes by the name of Exercise Cold Response 2020 — allied forces will "conduct multinational joint exercises with a high-intensity combat scenario in demanding winter conditions," or so claims the Norwegian military anyway.SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDERNOW WATCH: Arctic and Antarctic sea ice just hit record lows — here's what would happen if all the ice melted SEE ALSO: * The US and Greece held a live-fire military exercise at the foot of Mount Olympus * How the US's massive bombardment of Iwo Jima made it even tougher to capture the island from the Japanese * Pompeo says the West is winning.

The 13 highest-paying jobs for people who want to work less than 40 hours a week

[Greece Greek Pharmacist Drugs]REUTERS/John Kolesidis * Some high-paying jobs allow employees to work less than the typical American. * Using Census data, we found 13  jobs where you can work less than 40 hours per week and earn a high annual salary.  * Dentists, optometrists, and pharmacists were at the top of the list. * Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. More and more people are interested in a shorter workweek.  In its survey of over 3,000 workers, Kronos Workforce Institute found roughly 40% of full-time Americans want a four-day workweek.  Some companies have experimented with a shorter workweek to observe its potential benefits, including its effect on productivity. However, there are some jobs where employees already typically work less than 40 hours and still earn a large income. To find jobs that allow you to maintain work-life balance but still get paid well, we analyzed US Census data for about 478 occupations distilled by the Minnesota Population Center's 2018 American Community Survey Integrated Public Use Microdata Series. According to this data, the average working American logs about 40 hours a week, and the average earned income — a sum of wage, salary, and business income — across all occupations is over $58,000. While some may work more or less than the average depending on their employer or where they are in their career, people with the following professions report typically working an average of less than 40 hours a week and estimated average total earnings of at least $70,000 a year. We included only specific occupations and excluded catchall occupation categories, like "other psychologists." Read on to see the 13 highest-paying jobs where the typical employee works less than 40 hours a week sorted by average annual income, along with their responsibilities according to the Labor Department's Occupational Information Network (O*NET) description:  13.
