Methodology
- Source
- ProTherapy Staffing's live contract feed — the same data that powers our job board and the Pay Index. No third-party or survey data is mixed in.
- Snapshot date
- July 6, 2026. A point-in-time snapshot of open contracts, not a rolling average; re-computed each quarter.
- Weekly gross
- The full pre-tax weekly value of the contract as posted — the blended package combining the taxable hourly rate and non-taxable stipends where they apply (see pay packages explained). Take-home depends on your tax home and housing costs.
- Suppression
- This page exists because Michigan has at least 3 live COTA contracts. Any discipline/state or discipline/setting cut with fewer than 3 contracts is suppressed rather than published — we would rather show nothing than a number a single contract could swing.
- Scope
- This reflects ProTherapy Staffing's own contract inventory and may not represent the entire market. We publish it computed rather than estimated, because that transparency is what makes it worth citing.
