February 6, 2009, Newsletter Issue #105: Psychologist Income Depending on Location

Tip of the Week

Psychologist income may vary slightly depending on location. Websites such as Salary.com ask for zip code information when performing average salary analysis for a specific reason. The zip code is an important part of the equation because salaries for a profession can vary from one location to another. In general larger cities will likely have higher average salaries than smaller cities in a more rural area.

When seeking out psychologist income information, individuals should pay particular attention to the location. This is relevant because the average salary can vary slightly in some situations and more drastically in another. Checking on the average salary in a large metropolitan area when you reside and work in a smaller rural area may be useful if the individual intends to relocate but otherwise may be somewhat discouraging.

Related Tip: When considering average salaries for a psychologist, some may notice higher averages in some states than in others. However, for most psychologists this type of information is generally not useful because licensing requirements typically only license a psychologist to practice in the state in which the license was issued. Therefore, psychologists who are considering moving to another state may be interested in learning about potential psychologist income in the new state but they should be more concerned about learning how to obtain a license to practice psychology in the other state.
