The Bureau of Labor Statistics has released its latest rundown of occupational statistics, which dates to 2012,and of the 10 highest-paid positions, nine require medical training. Anesthesiologists lead the field, making slightly more money putting patients to sleep than the people cutting those patients open. The only non-medical workers that make it onto the list are chief executives, who come in at No. 10 with around $177,000 in annual wages, or around 24 percent less than the anesthesiologists.
Below, the 10 highest-paid occupations in America as of May 2012:
| Occupation | Average Annual Wages |
|---|---|
| 1. Anesthesiologists | $232,830 |
| 2. Surgeons | $230,540 |
| 3. Obstetricians and Gynecologists | $216,760 |
| 4. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons | $216,440 |
