What perfusionists make
Median
$85,000
Lower end
$63,000
Upper end
$106,000
Job Bank's national median is $41 an hour, about $85,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The lower and upper ends are Job Bank's low and high wages for everyone in the group, $30.16 and $51 an hour. Job Bank pools perfusionists with respiratory therapists and cardiopulmonary technologists under one code, and perfusionists are the smallest and most specialized group in it. These figures describe the whole pooled group, not perfusionists alone.
