How these numbers are calculated
PhysEmp pulls every active OB/GYN job ad on the site at the start of each quarter. Salary figures come only from ads where the employer posted pay.

October figures exclude salary data from Maryland, Kentucky and Illinois, where listings carried salary figures entered in error.
