Ever wonder who gets paid the most? Or how much your dentist makes for all the pain they put you through?

We had that same burning desire to know more about the highest paid professions in Florida. And if you can’t tell by that sentence, we’re a bit of what you’d call data nerds.

We decided to go directly to the source: The Bureau of Labor Statistics.

After scrounging through the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we discovered that Anesthesiologists are the highest paid people in Florida.

Here’s a quick look at the top ten highest paying jobs in Florida:

  1. Anesthesiologists
  2. Obstetricians and Gynecologists

  7. Surgeons
  8. Family and General Practitioners

Everyone’s favorite dentists place number 14 on the list of highest paid professions in the Sunshine State. So the next time you sit there while they drill you can dwell on the fact that they are getting extremely well paid for it.

How we determined the highest paid jobs in Florida For 2018

We looked at the BLS’s data set for all 741 job classifications in Florida in order to identify those that get paid the most.
