This ranking surfaces the 100 highest-paying occupations in Guam by BLS OEWS state median salary, drawn from the May 2025 release. At the top, General Internal Medicine Physicians pays a state median of $324,920, +27% above the national median of $256,560 for the same role. Of the 100 tracked positions, 10 pay above $100,000 per year in Guam — a useful threshold for separating specialist professional roles from mid-tier employment. The top-10 average sits at $133,074, giving a sense of what elite specialists inside this state actually clear.

The "Difference" column compares each state median to the corresponding national median for the same SOC code, making pay premiums and discounts immediately visible. In this list, 12 of 100 occupations pay above the national median in Guam, which usually signals one of three things: a local concentration of specialized employers (finance hubs, tech clusters, research universities, federal agencies), a cost-of-living adjustment baked into state-wide wage scales, or scarce in-state talent supply bidding up competitive roles. Occupations paying below the national median are not necessarily bad news — they often reflect lower cost of living in the state or industries where Guam is not a concentrated employer.

Rankings like this show ceiling-potential by specialty, but they don't tell you the odds of landing one of those roles. Pair this table with the employment column (how many workers the state actually employs in each occupation) and the growth projections on each occupation's national page to see whether the field is expanding or contracting. BLS wages exclude benefits, bonuses, and overtime — especially distorting for top-paying roles where equity and performance compensation can represent 30-50% of total pay. Use this leaderboard to shortlist careers worth exploring in Guam, then drill into each row's linked profile to check percentile spread, typical education, metro-level variation, and whether projected openings match your timeline.
