These large stocks pay more than three times the typical S&P 500 component.

With the volatility we've seen to start 2022, many investors are considering "risk-off" investments, including dividend stocks. As the thinking goes, even if shares don't deliver much in the way of profits then at least you can depend on the dividends. Unfortunately, the typical S&P 500 stock pays less than 1.4% right now – so that's not much of a payday. If you're interested in high-yield S&P 500 dividend stocks instead, consider these nine top companies that all offer yields of more than 5% based on current prices. Admittedly, some of these stocks aren't plotting a ton of growth in the coming year, but if you want slow-and-steady dividends during an otherwise rocky period on Wall Street, then these high-yield picks are worth a look in 2022.
