What the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median says in Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV

The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median in Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV at $36,710 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 31-9096 and BLS area 29820.

BLS lists 970 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $38,560 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.

Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV's Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is 3.8% below the U.S. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $38,150 on the same published median. Both values use the same job code and source date. They do not account for prices, taxes, benefits, hours, or your work history.

Where Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV sits for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers

Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV ranks 143 of 283 among metro areas with a published annual median for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.

Rank 143 of 283 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.

The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.

Where Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers medians lead among metro areas

The rows below use the same SOC 31-9096, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same metro map type. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has the highest published median in this set, at $49,400 per year. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV sits at $36,710 per year.

A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers is in the local mix.

Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.

Where BLS counts the most Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs

New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has the largest published metro job estimate for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers in this same-source set, at 5,560 jobs. Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV has 970. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.

A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.

Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.

A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.

Roles with the largest local share in Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV

Gambling Dealers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV role table, at 25.31. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has 1.05. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.

A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.

The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.

What $36,710 may mean after the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV price level

BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV is 100.2. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 0.2% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.

WageScope divides the $36,710 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median by 100.2 divided by 100. The result is $36,631 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.

Housing is 115.5. Goods are 96.3. Utilities are 90.6. Other services are 98.7. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.

How much care to use with the Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV row

The employment RSE for this Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers row is 6.6%. The mean-wage RSE is 1.9%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.

The employment RSE belongs to the 970 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $38,560 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.

A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.

Use Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV wage data before you tailor

The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. It uses a Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.

Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $36,710 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.

Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.

What the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers row for Las Vegas-Henderson-North Las Vegas, NV does not claim

The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.

The 970 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.05 is not a growth score. Rank 143 of 283 is not a place score. The 100.2 price index is not a personal budget.

Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 31-9096 in BLS area 29820. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
