Radiologist is the highest paying job across four U.S. states, according to a new analysis.
Those include California, the nation’s most populace state, which employs 1,700 members of the specialty earning average annual compensation of $339,140. Radiologist also is the best-paying job in Wisconsin, with average pay of $387,790 across 1,460 members of the profession, Pennsylvania ($376,470/1,200), and Massachusetts ($309,090/2,120), according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Business Insider compiled the data and created a U.S. map to display which professionals are earning the highest pay across each geography. In another 22 states, “physicians, all other”—a catchall for docs not captured in one of the specific specialty categories—is the highest paying position. Meanwhile, cardiologists are the top earners in both Florida and New York, alongside holding the No. 1 spot across all of the U.S. Anesthesiologists are the highest-earning profession in Washington, Arizona and Ohio, while emergency medicine specialists claimed the title in Michigan and Virginia.
Nonmedical professions earned the largest pay check in a few geographies. CEO, for instance, is the top-earning position in D.C., New Jersey and North Carolina, and financial managers make the most in North Dakota and Vermont.
The unit of the Department of Labor first released its 2022 salary data earlier this year, labeling radiologist as the sixth highest-paying job in the U.S.
