According to the Administration for Community Living’s 2018 Profile of Older Americans, in 2017, 15.6% (50.9 million) of the US population was over the age of 65. By 2060, experts predict the number to reach 23.5% (98 million).
On average, over half of the people over the age of 65 live with two or more chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. For them, the need for regular, non-invasive check-ups is of great importance, and also much more affordable for the third-party payers who cover them.
What Salary Can a Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer Expect?
The average salary for diagnostic cardiac sonographers reflects the growing demand for certified professionals. BLS’ most recent research from May 2018 states that the median national pay for these allied healthcare specialists hovered around $67,080 (or about $32.25 per hour). Nationally, the annual salary for the lowest 10 percent of cardiovascular techs was $38,640, while the top 10% received nearly $72,510.
Of course, just like any allied health career, wages and salaries vary across each state and urban area.
For instance, cardiac sonographers in Florida could expect to earn around $71,000 per year. In comparison, an applicant with the same training and certifications might expect to receive around $83,000 per year in California. If the professional lives in the Bay Area, this annual salary can increase even more. This, of course, reflects the rent prices which are the highest in the country.
