In our article last week, we covered the top 5 highest average income in the U.S. for Epic and Cerner Trainer. This week we are going to cover the lowest 5 average incomes for the two roles. These figures are an average of posted roles advertised across the nation over the past 12 months.
According to Ziprecruiter, here are the bottom 5 lowest average income states for Epic and Cerner Trainer roles:
- North Carolina
- Florida
- Arkansas
- Illinois
- Michigan
In North Carolina, an Epic Trainer averages around $80,161.00 and a Cerner trainer averages $55,012.00. While the top highest earning state, New York, has an Epic trainer averaging at $111,329 and Cerner trainer averages $76,402.00. There is about 20-30k difference in between the two states. There are many factors that affect why there might be such a big difference: cost of living, higher/lower demand in a area or the need for specialized skills.
Interestingly, the lowest average incomes in the Epic / Cerner arena do not follow the 5 poorest states/ lowest average incomes across every State as posted by USA Today. This has us asking: what is actually driving the average salaries across the US for Epic and Cerner candidates and does where you live make a difference? Global Healthcare It, Inc. will research this further and publish the results in a later article.
