Key Skills
Pediatrics — Occupational Therapist Career Context
In Texas, the Pediatrics weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$86k (50 salary observations; 275 listings), vs ~$90k nationally (497 salary observations; 1,520 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-03-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.
Of the 50 active Pediatrics listings this role was benchmarked against, 6% are remote, 40% have no call, 54% require no weekends.
The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$78k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $80k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Location & Logistics
Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$78k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
