PayScale recently looked at occupations with the highest median pay for women with five to eight years of experience. To highlight jobs in which women frequently work, only those where at least 40% of workers identified as female were included.
"The highest-paying job on the list, general physician, is only one of the many healthcare occupations for which women bring in a large paycheck," notes Gina Bremer, PayScale`s lead data analyst and data visualization specialist.
A number of well-paying healthcare occupations feature high concentrations of women. More than 90% of nurse practitioners and a little less than half of general physicians are women, Bremer tells Business Insider.
