Relief and Per Diem
Relief and per diem work covers vacations, leave and busy seasons. Shifts are usually paid per day or per hour and BLS doesn't track relief pay separately. For context, staff veterinarians in Wyoming earned a median $97,240 a year ($46.75/hr) in May 2025, per BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025.

BLS figures are employer-reported wages for all workers in the occupation (credentialed or not), before bonuses and benefits. Annual pay assumes 2,080 hours. Buying power = median pay ÷ (state price level ÷ 100).
