Veterinary Assistants
In Missouri, veterinary assistants earned a median $36,660 a year ($17.62 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 4% below the national median of $38,150. The middle 80% earned between $30,280 and $45,940. With Missouri prices at 90.8% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $40,367 would nationally: #18 of 51 states for buying power. About 2,010 people work in this occupation in Missouri. 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).
