Often times, it can be helpful to know exactly how many professionals are in your career of interest, and how many there will be in the future. What if the occupation is on the decline, would you still want to pursue it?

Key Factors Affecting Your Healthcare Salary
We’re providing detailed healthcare salary information by industries, states, and cities. Why? Aside from education, certification, and experience, these are the main factors that affect how much money you can potentially earn. We want to give you as much information as possible, so you can make the most informed decision on what career to pursue and where to work.
Depending on the job, some locations pay significantly less than others. In particular, non-metropolitan areas typically pay wages that are much less than major cities. This can be due to lower standard of living costs, which should be considered, as well. On the other hand, some major cities pay salaries that are much higher than other major cities for reasons other than the cost of living. Based on salary, you can determine how competitive some of the cities are relative to others. Again, all of these factors will need to be weighed when deciding which career is right for you.
We want to equip you with valuable information to help you decide which healthcare career is right for you, the requirements, and how much you can potentially earn.
