Veterinary Assistants
In Massachusetts, veterinary assistants earned a median $46,670 a year ($22.44 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 22% above the national median of $38,150. The middle 80% earned between $35,460 and $63,130. With Massachusetts prices at 105.8% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $44,129 would nationally: #5 of 51 states for buying power, and #3 for raw pay. About 2,130 people work in this occupation in Massachusetts. 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).
