The dividend yield on the S&P 500 has been hovering near its lowest level in roughly two decades for some time now, and while it's starting to move higher, it's still at a paltry 1.7%. So what are yield-hungry investors left to do?
Thankfully, there is no shortage of high-paying dividend stocks on Wall Street. And in a time of market volatility, like we've seen throughout 2022, quality income-paying names can be used as a defensive play in portfolios.
"We have continued to highlight the importance of dividends in the current backdrop, where we have seen wide performance spreads between dividend payers versus non-payers," says Jill Carey Hall, equity and quant strategist at BofA Securities. Looking specifically at small-cap stocks, Carey notes that "dividend yield has been the best-performing long factor" for the year-to-date.
However, not all dividend stocks are created equal, and it can be a dangerous practice for investors to simply chase yield. Many times, a company's high yield can be a sign of trouble in its underlying business.
With that in mind, we've selected 10 high-paying dividend stocks with yields of 5% or more. However, we didn't just randomly pick names, though. To put together a list of quality firms, we looked for companies with solid fundamentals, generous yields and backing from the analyst community. Investing in sturdy dividend stocks remains a favorite strategy on Wall Street and these ones are worth a closer look.

Buttressing your resume with a new skill is one of the best ways to make a modest financial investment pay big returns. One study found that, depending on the skill and the worker's previous education and job, some holders of short-term (typically defined as taking 6-18 months) credentials earned 65% more than otherwise equivalent colleagues.
If you just need to learn a new skill, there are plenty of free options, including online classes available through your public library or on platforms such as Coursera, edX, FutureLearn, LinkedIn and Udemy. And many colleges offer free auditing opportunities to groups such as veterans or those over age 60.

But if you want to prove to employers that you've really mastered a new skill, you'll need a certificate or credential program that requires you to pass proctored tests. Almost all of those come with a cost.
And just like any other investment, these are no slam-dunk. One recent study found that about half of the short-term credential programs accredited to award federal financial aid failed to increase earnings enough for students to recoup their costs within five years. And Credential Engine, a nonprofit that is monitoring the field, says that there are now more than 967,000 different credential programs - a number that can overwhelm prospective students.
The experts suggest winnowing by these three factors:
