Doctors bring significantly more jobs — and money —  into Delaware than those working in higher education, nursing care facilities and legal services, according to a new report by the American Medical Association.

The organization's 2018 Economic Impact Study analyzed the effect physicians, those who work in both hospital and private practices, have on their state's economy. Economic activity, defined in the report, is measured by output, jobs, wages and benefits and state and local tax revenue.
