5. North Carolina
Annual median wage: $238,500
Cost of living: 94.2
Employment: 680
There are 144 hospitals in total in North Carolina, the next one in our list of best states for obstetricians and gynecologists, but the employment rates they have seem to be worth more than that. Again, this is most definitely because most doctors choose to do their practice privately. What makes this state rank higher than most American states is its high wages and low cost of living. It is quite rare for popularly known affordable states to offer wages that reach past the average, which North Carolina did for obstetricians and gynecologists. Why would you even look elsewhere to practice?
