21. California
Annual median wage: $182,200
Cost of living: 134.8
Employment: 16,400
California ranks first when it comes to employment rates for family and general practitioners. The wages they offer might not be as high when you compare it to other states. The cost of living rates they have is also too high for anyone’s comfort, which is why despite the high wages and employment rates, they ranked quite low on the list. Doctors can still try their fate in California, though they might have to compromise a little on their expenses–say goodbye to that gold surfboard.
