Anesthesiologist is the highest-paying job in America, on average — but it's only the top-paying profession in 14 states.

We recently sifted through the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates survey to find out who are the highest-earning professionals in each state and Washington DC.

The survey, which reflects May 2015 salary and employment data gathered from more than 1 million businesses, found that medical jobs topped all but one state in terms of pay.
