A contract can list more than one setting, so setting counts overlap and do not add up to the national n.

Method
Source: the ProTherapy Staffing published job feed. Each snapshot records the feed's aggregate figures on its date and is never changed afterwards.
Weekly gross is the advertised weekly pay for a contract: taxable hourly wages plus non-taxable housing and meal stipends, before tax. We do not publish take-home or after-tax figures.
Suppression: a median is shown only where at least 5 contracts have a posted rate; below that the cell shows "—".
Every figure on this page is recomputed from its snapshot by our published-numbers check. See how we verify and the quarterly pay index.
