While Illinois offers solid employment opportunities in health administration sector, salaries are not so great especially having in mind the fact that the state belongs to a group of moderately expensive ones. In Illinois, only medical records technicians receive a paycheck that is higher than the national average for the occupation while other health admin professionals are paid below the US average. The difference is especially evident for medical managers whose salary in Illinois is some $8,000 lower on an annual basis.
