We published the Top States for Physician Pay Satisfaction in 2025! Where you practice matters. Most physicians become deeply rooted in the communities they serve, and their satisfaction with pay is influenced by the cost of living, the lifestyle they can sustain, what it's like to raise a family in that location, in addition to whether their work feel valued in that setting. The correlation between compensation and satisfaction is only moderate, at just over 0.5. - Top States - Nebraska, Nevada, and Arkansas rank among the top states, with average satisfaction scores exceeding 3.8 out of 5. These markets, known more for community-based care and manageable cost-of-living, consistently outperform traditional "destination" states when it comes to how fulfilled physicians feel in their roles. - On the other end - Markets in the Northeast tend to have lower pay satisfaction due to a higher concentration of physicians, even as the cost of living remains high. California ranks near the national average for pay satisfaction, even though wages are significantly higher than in most other states. - The highest-rated metros for physician satisfaction include Las Vegas (4.0), Salt Lake City (3.9), and Cincinnati (3.84) Here are the top 20 highest and lowest ranked states and metros.

🚀 Excited to share a new feature we launched recently - Bringing Transparency to Locums Pay! Locums work can offer amazing flexibility and great pay, but it's hard to know if you're getting the best rate. This market is very dynamic and very local, and even more opaque.

In addition to the salary and schedule fields, we've also adding an optional field to rate the Agency since it's so important to the Locums experience. If you’ve worked a Locums job in the last 12 months, please give it a try and help your peers out. Link below 👇
