7. Alaska
Average Annual Salary: $393,247
Average Hourly Salary: $189.06
The seventh state on our list is the first to surpass $390,000 for the average annual income for surgeons. Alaska, or the Last Frontier, located in the far-off north, has an extremely cold climate and a sparse population and hence houses only 40 surgeons.
