Veterinarians
In Maryland, veterinarians earned a median $163,170 a year ($78.45 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 25% above the national median of $130,100. The middle 80% earned between $104,030 and $214,960. With Maryland prices at 105.0% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $155,461 would nationally: #1 of 49 states for buying power, and #2 for raw pay. About 1,430 people work in this occupation in Maryland. 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).
