The Florida OEWS table has a published median for 777 occupations. The displayed top 50 rows have summed published employment of approximately 471,900; that sum does not include the bottom table or rows whose employment is suppressed. BLS publishes means and percentile boundaries only where the corresponding estimate meets its publication standards. Averaging the medians of the top 50 highest-paying occupations gives $201,591 per year. That is only a mean of the displayed upper-tier occupation medians; it is not the BLS All Occupations mean or median and does not describe a typical worker. Published local OEWS areas include Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL, Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL, Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, FL, Gainesville, FL, Homosassa Springs, FL, Jacksonville, FL, then Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL, Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL, Naples-Marco Island, FL, North Florida nonmetropolitan area, North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota, FL, Ocala, FL.

At the top of the ranking, Orthopedic Surgeons, Except Pediatric pays a Florida median of $473,750, the highest-paying reported occupation in the state. The number-two spot goes to Anesthesiologists at $465,370, followed by Surgeons, All Other at $429,990. At the bottom of the published range, Graders and Sorters, Agricultural Products has a median of $27,470, making the displayed endpoint ratio 17.2×. The endpoints do not establish a cause or career stage. WageDex has BLS occupation rows for 22 metro areas and 2 nonmetropolitan areas assigned to Florida, allowing comparisons below the statewide estimate without treating nonmetropolitan areas as MSAs.

Because Florida publishes 24 OEWS areas, treat the statewide Orthopedic Surgeons, Except Pediatric median as a roll-up and re-check the same occupation in Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL or Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, FL where BLS releases the row. Tips and commissions stay inside OEWS; benefits and equity do not.
