North Carolina figures below are occupation-wide state estimates, not cardiac-only wages and not a hospital scale. Confirm a number on bls.gov before you use it in a negotiation.

A later version of /pay/north-carolina can add a self-report band once enough private notes exist for North Carolina. Until then, CardioPay does not invent a local cardiac rate. If a recruiter names a hospital salary, that number is theirs to document. It is not on this page.
