According to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics publication, Florida medical assistant salary was $27,970 annually or an hourly mean wage of $13.45 in 2008, which is close to the national average. What those income figures do not take into account, however, is the vast number and location of all CMA’s in Florida. CMA’s in major cities, on average, tend to earn a higher income than their rural counterparts in Florida. Despite that fact, with the demand for medical assistants on the rise, wages for CMA’s/RMA’S in all regions of Florida are expected to increase.

Compiled below is a list of average annual income for medical assistants in major metropolitan cities in Florida:
