Veterinarians
In Illinois, veterinarians earned a median $133,580 a year ($64.22 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 3% above the national median of $130,100. The middle 80% earned between $74,840 and $280,380. With Illinois prices at 100.0% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $133,636 would nationally: #18 of 49 states for buying power, and #8 for raw pay. About 2,330 people work in this occupation in Illinois. Nationally, BLS projects 9.4% job growth from 2025 to 2035 and about 3,100 openings a year (BLS Employment Projections 2025–35, Table 1.10).
