What it pays nationally
The BLS does not publish Physician wages for the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA area — it suppresses an occupation where the local sample is too small. These are the national figures. We do not adjust them to fit San Jose.

These are pay percentiles, not years of experience. The source data does not record how long anyone has been in the job, so we do not claim a figure for "entry level" or "senior".
