Veterinary Assistants
In California, veterinary assistants earned a median $46,260 a year ($22.24 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 21% above the national median of $38,150. The middle 80% earned between $37,800 and $57,940. With California prices at 110.7% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $41,781 would nationally: #10 of 51 states for buying power, and #4 for raw pay. About 16,080 people work in this occupation in California. Nationally, BLS projects 9.1% job growth from 2025 to 2035 and about 23,200 openings a year (BLS Employment Projections 2025–35, Table 1.10).
