BLS covers Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL as one metropolitan area. The published mean is $136,150, which is above the median of $131,340; BLS does not say why.

Metro figures cover wage and salary employees only. Locum, 1099 and per diem pay can look very different, and benefits, call pay and bonuses are not included. Compare a written offer on hours, scope and benefits instead of reading these two wages as a salary range.
