The good news first: Median salaries grew nationwide in four major job categories—BMET 1, BMET2, BMET3, and director/executive—in 2021, with BMET 2s seeing the largest, year-over-year, gains. (In 2020, the median national salary for BMET 2s was $61,000; in 2021, it rose to $67,300). Unfortunately, that’s where the good news ends.
