What the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median says in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area at $35,140 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 4200004.
BLS lists 80 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 $33,500 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area's Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is 7.9% below the U.S. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $38,150 on the same published median.

Same-source checks
Compare Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area with its state and the U.S.
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has a annual median of $35,140 per year. Pennsylvania has $37,140 per year. The U.S. row has $38,150 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is 5.4% below Pennsylvania on the same published median. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is 7.9% below 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 benchmarks, 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area sits for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers
Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area ranks 71 of 108 among nonmetro 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 71 of 108 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.
68. North Florida nonmetropolitan area. The Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is $35,230 per year. BLS estimates 70 jobs. The location quotient is 0.75.
69. Alaska nonmetropolitan area. The Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is $35,180 per year. BLS estimates 30 jobs. The location quotient is 0.36.
70. Southwest Missouri nonmetropolitan area. The Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is $35,150 per year. BLS estimates 70 jobs. The location quotient is 1.1.
Pay leaders
Where Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers medians lead among nonmetro areas
The rows below use the same SOC 31-9096, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same nonmetro map type. Connecticut nonmetropolitan area has the highest published median in this set, at $45,810 per year. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area sits at $35,140 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 limits, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. Connecticut nonmetropolitan area has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $45,810 per year, or $10,670 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 80 jobs there, compared with 80 in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. The location quotient is 1.53.
2. Hawaii / Kauai nonmetropolitan area has a Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median of $44,090 per year, or $8,950 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.

Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs
Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has the largest published nonmetro job estimate for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers in this same-source set, at 380 jobs. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has 80. 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. Eastern North Carolina nonmetropolitan area has 380 estimated Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 300 jobs from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $35,730 per year, or $590 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.76.
2. Kansas nonmetropolitan area has 360 estimated Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs, a gap of 280 jobs from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its median is $33,280 per year, or $1,860 below Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. Its location quotient is 1.19.
Local-share leaders
Where Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers takes the largest share of local jobs
Arizona nonmetropolitan area has the highest published location quotient in this nonmetro set, at 2.21. Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area has 0.72. 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. Arizona nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.21, a gap of 1.49 from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 180 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $35,840 per year, or $700 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.
2. Northwest Virginia nonmetropolitan area has a location quotient of 2.08, a gap of 1.36 from Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. BLS lists 110 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs and a median of $36,420 per year, or $1,280 above Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area.
Job scale and share
How common Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers is in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
BLS lists 80 Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. It also lists 0.59 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 0.72. 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 lower 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
The all-occupations median in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area is $46,600 per year. The Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers median is $35,140 per year.

The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. 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. Janitors and Cleaners, Except Maids and Housekeeping Cleaners, SOC 37-2011, has a Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area median of $34,710 per year. BLS lists 2,020 jobs and a location quotient of 1.01.

The largest detailed roles in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
Fast Food and Counter Workers is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area table, at 4,180 jobs. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has 80 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 140,370. 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. Fast Food and Counter Workers has 4,180 jobs in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 4,100 from Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.

Area pay mix
Published role medians around Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area role table, at $83,210 per year. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has $35,140 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $46,600 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. General and Operations Managers has a median of $83,210 per year in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, or $48,070 above Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 3,680 jobs, compared with 80 for Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. Its location quotient is 1.16.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $79,930 per year in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, or $44,790 above Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.

Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area
Correctional Officers and Jailers has the highest location quotient in the bounded Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area role table, at 7.33. Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers has 0.72. 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. Correctional Officers and Jailers has a location quotient of 7.33 in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area, a gap of 6.61 from Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. BLS lists 2,520 jobs and a median of $63,460 per year, or $28,320 above Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers.

Price-level view
What $35,140 may mean after the Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area price level
WageScope has no exact approved 2024 BEA price row for Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area. It does not use a nearby place or a broad state value as a stand-in. The $35,140 BLS median stays a nominal wage.
No price row means no national-price-dollar proxy. It does not mean prices match the U.S. level. It does not say whether a wage goes far or not. The source is missing for this exact map key, so the price answer stays open.
You can still compare Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers with the U.S. or with like nonmetro areas on the same BLS metric. Keep that as a nominal wage comparison. Add price-level context only when an exact reviewed row exists.
Data care
How much care to use with the Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area row
The employment RSE for this Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers row is 11.2%. The mean-wage RSE is 2.8%. 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 80 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $33,500 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area wage data before you tailor
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers. It uses a Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area 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 $35,140 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 Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area 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 80 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.72 is not a growth score. Rank 71 of 108 is not a place score. A missing 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 4200004. 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.
How many Veterinary Assistants and Laboratory Animal Caretakers jobs does BLS estimate in Southwestern Pennsylvania nonmetropolitan area?
BLS estimates 80 wage and salary jobs for this row. This is a survey estimate. It does not count open jobs or predict future hiring.
