Veterinary Assistants
In Virginia, veterinary assistants earned a median $37,450 a year ($18.01 an hour) in May 2025, according to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS), May 2025. That's 2% below the national median of $38,150. The middle 80% earned between $30,430 and $48,580. With Virginia prices at 101.1% of the US average (BEA Regional Price Parities, 2024), that median buys about what $37,041 would nationally: #43 of 51 states for buying power. About 4,810 people work in this occupation in Virginia. 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).
