What the General Internal Medicine Physicians median says in Tennessee
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the General Internal Medicine Physicians median in Tennessee at $232,220 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 29-1216 and BLS area 47.
BLS lists 1,370 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $238,020 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Tennessee's General Internal Medicine Physicians median is 9.5% below the U.S. General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $256,560 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 29-1216 and area 47. SOC 29-1216 names General Internal Medicine Physicians. Area 47 names Tennessee. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 29-1216/47 row reports 1,370 wage and salary jobs, 0.42 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.97 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 29-1216/47, the annual median is $232,220 per year, while the matching mean is $238,020 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
BLS area 47 facts behind this General Internal Medicine Physicians page
Area 47 reports 3,278,760 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $60,800. Its annual median is $47,380. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 29-1216 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in Tennessee runs from $28,600 at the 10th percentile to $103,130 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $35,830. The median is $47,380. The 75th percentile is $71,050. This is a place check, not a pay range for General Internal Medicine Physicians.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 47. They do not show related skills or a path into General Internal Medicine Physicians.
1. Area 47, SOC 53-7062, Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand: 105,870 jobs, $38,160 annual median, 32.29 jobs per 1,000, and 1.7 location quotient.
2. Area 47, SOC 35-3023, Fast Food and Counter Workers: 90,690 jobs, $27,470 annual median, 27.66 jobs per 1,000, and 1.12 location quotient.
3. Area 47, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 87,380 jobs, $31,950 annual median, 26.65 jobs per 1,000, and 1.06 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the Tennessee wage ladder for General Internal Medicine Physicians
The 10th percentile is $64,870 per year. The 25th percentile is $106,590 per year. The median is $232,220 per year. The 75th percentile is $322,260 per year. The 90th percentile is $412,460 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $106,590 per year to $322,260 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $347,590. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Tennessee has a annual median of $232,220 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $256,560 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for Tennessee. Tennessee is 9.5% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Where Tennessee sits for General Internal Medicine Physicians
Tennessee ranks 28 of 46 among states and territories with a published annual median for General Internal Medicine Physicians. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 28 of 46 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
25. Ohio has a General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $249,990 per year, 1,540 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.64.
26. Kentucky has a General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $241,530 per year, 1,060 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.22.
27. Arkansas has a General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $233,130 per year, 290 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.52.
29. New Hampshire has a General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $229,210 per year, 450 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.51.
Pay leaders
Where General Internal Medicine Physicians medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 29-1216, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. Georgia has the highest published median in this set, at $425,460 per year. Tennessee sits at $232,220 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common General Internal Medicine Physicians is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Georgia has a General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $425,460 per year, or $193,240 above Tennessee. BLS lists 5,440 jobs there, compared with 1,370 in Tennessee. The location quotient is 2.58.
2. Rhode Island has a General Internal Medicine Physicians median of $379,490 per year, or $147,270 above Tennessee. BLS lists 300 jobs there, compared with 1,370 in Tennessee. The location quotient is 1.39.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs
New York has the largest published state job estimate for General Internal Medicine Physicians in this same-source set, at 10,000 jobs. Tennessee has 1,370. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. New York has 10,000 estimated General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs, a gap of 8,630 jobs from Tennessee. Its median is $183,460 per year, or $48,760 below Tennessee. Its location quotient is 2.39.
2. California has 6,370 estimated General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs, a gap of 5,000 jobs from Tennessee. Its median is $313,890 per year, or $81,670 above Tennessee. Its location quotient is 0.81.
Local-share leaders
Where General Internal Medicine Physicians takes the largest share of local jobs
Maryland has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 2.73. Tennessee has 0.97. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where General Internal Medicine Physicians is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Maryland has a location quotient of 2.73, a gap of 1.76 from Tennessee. BLS lists 3,250 General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs and a median of $260,410 per year, or $28,190 above Tennessee.
2. Georgia has a location quotient of 2.58, a gap of 1.61 from Tennessee. BLS lists 5,440 General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs and a median of $425,460 per year, or $193,240 above Tennessee.
3. New York has a location quotient of 2.39, a gap of 1.42 from Tennessee. BLS lists 10,000 General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs and a median of $183,460 per year, or $48,760 below Tennessee.
Job scale and share
How common General Internal Medicine Physicians is in Tennessee
BLS lists 1,370 General Internal Medicine Physicians jobs in Tennessee. It also lists 0.42 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.97. A value of 1 means General Internal Medicine Physicians has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
General Internal Medicine Physicians beside other roles in Tennessee
The all-occupations median in Tennessee is $47,380 per year. The General Internal Medicine Physicians median is $232,220 per year. General Internal Medicine Physicians is 390.1% above the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Tennessee. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around General Internal Medicine Physicians. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. General and Operations Managers, SOC 11-1021, has a Tennessee median of $106,970 per year. BLS lists 63,720 jobs and a location quotient of 0.86.
2. Registered Nurses, SOC 29-1141, has a Tennessee median of $81,500 per year. BLS lists 72,200 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.
3. Accountants and Auditors, SOC 13-2011, has a Tennessee median of $76,840 per year. BLS lists 27,340 jobs and a location quotient of 0.89.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Tennessee
Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Tennessee table, at 105,870 jobs. General Internal Medicine Physicians has 1,370 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 3,278,760. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep General Internal Medicine Physicians's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Laborers and Freight, Stock, and Material Movers, Hand has 105,870 jobs in Tennessee, a gap of 104,500 from General Internal Medicine Physicians. Its median is $38,160 per year, or $194,060 below General Internal Medicine Physicians. Its location quotient is 1.7.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 90,690 jobs in Tennessee, a gap of 89,320 from General Internal Medicine Physicians. Its median is $27,470 per year, or $204,750 below General Internal Medicine Physicians. Its location quotient is 1.12.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Tennessee
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Tennessee role table, at $106,970 per year. General Internal Medicine Physicians has $232,220 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $47,380 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $106,970 per year in Tennessee, or $125,250 below General Internal Medicine Physicians. BLS lists 63,720 jobs, compared with 1,370 for General Internal Medicine Physicians. Its location quotient is 0.86.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $81,500 per year in Tennessee, or $150,720 below General Internal Medicine Physicians. BLS lists 72,200 jobs, compared with 1,370 for General Internal Medicine Physicians. Its location quotient is 1.01.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Tennessee
Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has the highest location quotient in the bounded Tennessee role table, at 2.06. General Internal Medicine Physicians has 0.97. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare General Internal Medicine Physicians with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Medical Secretaries and Administrative Assistants has a location quotient of 2.06 in Tennessee, a gap of 1.09 from General Internal Medicine Physicians. BLS lists 41,810 jobs and a median of $39,940 per year, or $192,280 below General Internal Medicine Physicians.
2. Miscellaneous Assemblers and Fabricators has a location quotient of 1.98 in Tennessee, a gap of 1.01 from General Internal Medicine Physicians. BLS lists 58,760 jobs and a median of $44,630 per year, or $187,590 below General Internal Medicine Physicians.
Price-level view
What $232,220 may mean after the Tennessee price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Tennessee is 91.9. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 8.1% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $232,220 General Internal Medicine Physicians median by 91.9 divided by 100. The result is $252,770 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 79.1. Goods are 96.2. Utilities are 72.1. Other services are 95.1. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this General Internal Medicine Physicians row is 9.5%. The mean-wage RSE is 4.6%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 1,370 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $238,020 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to General Internal Medicine Physicians. It uses a Tennessee place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Job cards can change without changing this guide. They do not count toward the 1,500-word content floor. A listing range does not replace the $232,220 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the General Internal Medicine Physicians row for Tennessee does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 1,370 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.97 is not a growth score. Rank 28 of 46 is not a place score. The 91.9 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 29-1216 in BLS area 47. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 1,370 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
