Healthcare Jobs Pay the Most; HealthcareCrossing Lists the Most

September 26, 2008

Pasadena, CA — Healthcare jobs pay the most of all the job types in Kansas, according to the latest report by the Kansas Department of Labor. Healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries in the nation, and HealthcareCrossing lists each and every healthcare job opening it can find on the Internet and elsewhere. The healthcare job board currently offers over 150,000 healthcare jobs, most of which are highly paid positions.

''The healthcare industry offers good salaries. According to the Medical Group Management Association, the median salary for physicians in 2005 was about $200,000. Additionally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the healthcare industry will generate 3 million new wage and salary jobs between 2006 and 2016, more than any other industry,'' says Harrison Barnes, CEO of HealthcareCrossing.

According to the 2008 Kansas Wage Survey, oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the highest-paid healthcare professionals in the state, earning $98.66 per hour, which is $12.87 higher than the national average for such surgeons. Orthodontists are the second highest-paid professionals, making $98.61 an hour, followed by obstetricians and gynecologists ($98.44/hour), other physicians and surgeons ($91.05/hour), and anesthesiologists ($88.40/hour). ''Earnings for doctors are among the highest of any occupation. HealthcareCrossing lists about 2,000 healthcare jobs in the state of Kansas, most of which offer excellent packages,'' adds Barnes.

HealthcareCrossing is poised to add each and every healthcare job opening to its site. The website added about 18,000 new healthcare jobs to its database in just the last week. These jobs have been collected from more than 8,000 job boards and 250,000 employer websites. ''We aim to add more jobs from all possible sources, including all the hidden jobs,'' adds Barnes.

• Dentist jobs (1,800)
