The average physician in the US makes $458k. In Canada, $195k. In Sweden, $115k! These are PPP adjusted nber.org/system/files/w…

@pitdesi hmm, sure this is accurate? $458k seems high for average. bls/medscape/other sources report $3-400k range.

@Neuronirav Medscape is a survey, doctors underreport because they put their base salary not full income BLS is wage data, high earning doctors are business owners so it’s underreported This is the best data: IRS Records

@pitdesi @Neuronirav I assume to capture business-owning doctors, not just W-2 wage income is included. Does that mean that if a late-career doctor has some savings built up and is getting an additional rental/capgains income stream from them, that will be included in income?

@willhsmit @pitdesi your point still remains...us doctors make a lot. they have a lot more debt too.
