PHOENIX — Sure the tougher jobs in society generally pay the most money, but there’s a certain job that takes special expertise in Arizona that will pay more than any other on average.
According to Travel + Leisure, becoming a surgeon in Arizona will give you an annual salary of $282,080 on average.
The website conducted their study of the highest-paying job in every state by looking at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupations Employment and Wage Estimates survey.
Travel + Leisure defines a surgeon as “physicians who treat diseases, injuries, and deformities by invasive, minimally-invasive, or non-invasive surgical methods, such as using instruments, appliances, or by manual manipulation.”
