Veterinary Assistants
In North Carolina, veterinary assistants earned a median $37,070 a year ($17.82 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 3% below the national median of $38,150. The middle 80% earned between $28,830 and $46,470. With North Carolina prices at 94.3% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $39,300 would nationally: #29 of 51 states for buying power. About 6,910 people work in this occupation in North Carolina. 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).
