The published range for Physician
The BLS does not publish this occupation for the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ area — it suppresses one where the local sample is too small — so this is the national range. We do not adjust it to fit New York.
The BLS publishes five points in the range — the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th percentiles. Your position is read off those five points, so a figure between them is an approximation rather than a published number. These are pay percentiles and not years of experience: nothing in the source data records how long anyone has been in the job, so this tool will not tell you what you "should" earn for your years. It tells you where you sit among people doing the same work.
