Obstetricians and Gynecologists pay in Utah and Virginia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS median for Obstetricians and Gynecologists is $437,170 per year in Utah. It is $282,410 per year in Virginia. Utah is 54.8% above Virginia on the published median.
Both rows use SOC 29-1218 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 200 wage and salary jobs in Utah and Not published in Virginia. 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.
