Doctors make a lot of money across the board, but other professions can also pay well.
Medical doctors of various specializations are the highest-paying job in 39 US states. We decided to take a look at the highest-paying job in each state and DC outside of the medical field.
Using salary and employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment Statistics program, we found the jobs for which the BLS reported at least 1,000 employees in the state with the highest average salary in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available, excluding several professions for medical doctors and dentists.
