1.5%
Salem, OR was 16.5% above the U.S. median for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. It ranked 27 of 283 metro areas with a published annual median. Neither comparison adjusts for cost of living, benefits, experience, employer mix, or hours.
What the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median says in Salem, OR
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median in Salem, OR at $44,460 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 41420.
BLS lists 230 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 $43,650 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Salem, OR's Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is 16.5% above the U.S. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $38,150 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
Exact source record
Read source key 31-9096 with area 41420
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 31-9096 and area 41420. SOC 31-9096 names Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Area 41420 names Salem, OR. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 31-9096/41420 row reports 230 wage and salary jobs, 1.24 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 1.52 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 31-9096/41420, the annual median is $44,460 per year, while the matching mean is $43,650 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
31-9096/41420 has no suppression mark in the fields shown on this page.

The 75th percentile is $79,750. This is a place check, not a pay range for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 41420. They do not show related skills or a path into Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.

A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $38,190 per year to $47,200 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $11,630. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
Same-source checks
Compare Salem, OR with its state and the U.S.
Salem, OR has a annual median of $44,460 per year. Oregon has $44,370 per year. The U.S. row has $38,150 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Salem, OR is 0.2% above Oregon on the same published median. Salem, OR is 16.5% above the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
Like-for-like rank
Where Salem, OR sits for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers
Salem, OR ranks 27 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 27 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.
24. Portland-South Portland, ME has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $45,150 per year, 210 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.88.
25. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $44,810 per year, 1,270 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.91.
26. Wenatchee-East Wenatchee, WA has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $44,530 per year, 50 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.25.
Pay leaders
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. Salem, OR sits at $44,460 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. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
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 care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $49,400 per year, or $4,940 above Salem, OR. BLS lists 2,150 jobs there, compared with 230 in Salem, OR. The location quotient is 1.11.
2. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $49,210 per year, or $4,750 above Salem, OR. BLS lists 620 jobs there, compared with 230 in Salem, OR. The location quotient is 0.67.
Job-base leaders
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. Salem, OR has 230. 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.
1. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ has 5,560 estimated Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 5,330 jobs from Salem, OR. Its median is $46,160 per year, or $1,700 above Salem, OR. Its location quotient is 0.72.
2. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA has 4,830 estimated Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 4,600 jobs from Salem, OR. Its median is $46,070 per year, or $1,610 above Salem, OR. Its location quotient is 0.95.
Local-share leaders
Where Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers takes the largest share of local jobs
Corvallis, OR has the highest published location quotient in this metro set, at 4.98. Salem, OR has 1.52. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
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.
Use this list to ask where Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Corvallis, OR has a location quotient of 4.98, a gap of 3.46 from Salem, OR. BLS lists 160 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $38,820 per year, or $5,640 below Salem, OR.
2. College Station-Bryan, TX has a location quotient of 3.77, a gap of 2.25 from Salem, OR. BLS lists 410 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $29,960 per year, or $14,500 below Salem, OR.
3. Wilmington, NC has a location quotient of 3.26, a gap of 1.74 from Salem, OR. BLS lists 510 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $36,860 per year, or $7,600 below Salem, OR.
Job scale and share
How common Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers is in Salem, OR
BLS lists 230 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs in Salem, OR. It also lists 1.24 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 1.52. A value of 1 means Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is higher than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
Local job mix
Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers beside other roles in Salem, OR
The all-occupations median in Salem, OR is $55,310 per year. The Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is $44,460 per year. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers is 19.6% below the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Salem, OR. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers, SOC 37-3011, has a Salem, OR median of $45,040 per year. BLS lists 1,520 jobs and a location quotient of 1.32.
2. Home Health and Personal Care Aides, SOC 31-1120, has a Salem, OR median of $45,200 per year. BLS lists 7,040 jobs and a location quotient of 1.35.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation and Serving Workers, SOC 35-1012, has a Salem, OR median of $45,660 per year. BLS lists 1,440 jobs and a location quotient of 0.97.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in Salem, OR
Home Health and Personal Care Aides is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Salem, OR table, at 7,040 jobs. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has 230 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 188,620. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 7,040 jobs in Salem, OR, a gap of 6,810 from Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its median is $45,200 per year, or $740 above Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.35.
2. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 5,880 jobs in Salem, OR, a gap of 5,650 from Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its median is $34,520 per year, or $9,940 below Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.26.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around Salem, OR
Registered Nurses has the highest published median in the bounded Salem, OR role table, at $131,750 per year. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has $44,460 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $55,310 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. Registered Nurses has a median of $131,750 per year in Salem, OR, or $87,290 above Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 4,010 jobs, compared with 230 for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 0.98.
2. General and Operations Managers has a median of $114,430 per year in Salem, OR, or $69,970 above Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 3,490 jobs, compared with 230 for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 0.82.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Salem, OR
Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has the highest location quotient in the bounded Salem, OR role table, at 39.13. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has 1.52. 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.
1. Personal Care and Service Workers, All Other has a location quotient of 39.13 in Salem, OR, a gap of 37.61 from Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 2,870 jobs and a median of $41,600 per year, or $2,860 below Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.
2. Farmworkers and Laborers, Crop, Nursery, and Greenhouse has a location quotient of 7.92 in Salem, OR, a gap of 6.40 from Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 2,550 jobs and a median of $33,450 per year, or $11,010 below Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.
Price-level view
What $44,460 may mean after the Salem, OR price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for Salem, OR is 103.6. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 3.6% above that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $44,460 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median by 103.6 divided by 100. The result is $42,895 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 110.3. Goods are 105.3. Utilities are 104.7. Other services are 100.3. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
Data care
How much care to use with the Salem, OR row
The employment RSE for this Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers row is 4.8%. 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 230 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $43,650 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.
Job and résumé path
Use Salem, OR wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. It uses a Salem, OR 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 $44,460 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.
Limits
What the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers row for Salem, OR 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 230 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 1.52 is not a growth score. Rank 27 of 283 is not a place score. The 103.6 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 41420. 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.
BLS published an employment estimate of 230 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
