The Website Wallethub.com reported Mississippi is the eight-best state for physicians to practice medicine. The ranking was apparently based on compensation and competition. The website also stated that Mississippi physicians are the second highest-paid in the country when salaries are adjusted for cost of living. Wallethub issued the report in May.

need to see the data. if the difference between #1 and #51 is $10k... meaningless graphic.
Awesome. I hope we can use this to attract more high quality doctors to Mississippi.
That is a good thing. Means we retain and attract some of the best. My wife could have gone in anywhere in the country to practice but she decided to stay here and she is damn good at what she does.
This is the best place public assistance benefits too, despite the competition. When you live in the poorest state in the country it doesn't take much to be the highest paid based on the COL Index.
As someone who does recruiting and staffing... there is a reason that Mississippi pays more.
People in other states don't want to move to Mississippi. You know, kind of like people who live in Madison and Brandon don't want to move to Jackson.
How much MORE would you have to make each year to make living inside Jackson worth it?
Mississippi's labor pool is very shallow and attracting candidates other states is a very tough sell. It's a major reason that companies are reluctant to move here.
Been there, done (and doing) that.
I agree with the above but scratch Brandon
Scratch you, 7:32
The stats should be a reminder that the whole state of Mississippi is economically and socially depressed, even if it makes some short sighted idiots feel better to look down on Jackson as if they live in Beverly Hills. Factor in cost of living, the State of Mississippi has nothing that is in great demand nationally and plenty of stuff nobody but the locals want. Professionals in rural Mississippi who command real money are few and far between and outsiders certainly will not relocate to the most backwards place in the U.S. unless they can make salary that makes it really worthwhile. That applies to Madison, Pearl, Clinton etc. just like Jackson. Mississippi might progress when the WHOLE state decides it's in the same boat.
Coming soon to Jackson.
