According to the BLS, the top three highest-paying states are Alaska, Arkansas, and Hawaii. Because of the rural settings in Alaska and Arkansas, there’s a higher demand for emergency medicine physicians—leading to increased compensation to attract doctors to these areas. As for Hawaii, higher pay is attributed to the high cost of living and the geographic isolation. 

It’s important to note that high compensation isn’t confined to a specific state or territory—your qualifications and the facility’s level of demand are the primary factors.
