Healthcare Diagnosing or Treating Practitioners, All Other pay in Connecticut and Maryland
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Healthcare Diagnosing or Treating Practitioners, All Other is $119,970 per year in Connecticut. It is $164,670 per year in Maryland. Connecticut is 27.1% below Maryland on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 29-1299 and the same annual wage metric. Median means the middle of each area's published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. The larger median is not proof that one place gives a better job or a better result. It is one wage fact from one source period.
BLS lists 410 wage and salary jobs in Connecticut and 5,840 in Maryland. Those are survey job counts, not open posts. Read pay, job scale, local share, and price level as separate facts before you make a choice.
