Orthopedics Pay & Work-Life Balance by State
Advertised-pay benchmarks and work-life-balance scores across 10 states with enough orthopedics listings to measure. Pay uses weighted monthly permanent-position medians over 13 calendar months where available, with cohort-median fallbacks—not pooled medians or a salary survey. Take-home figures deduct state income tax (Tax Foundation 2025) and adjust for local cost of living (BEA Regional Price Parities 2024); federal tax is uniform across states and omitted.
