Vet Tech Job Growth & Average Wages

I’ve been doing some research on graduate programs for my husband and came across a website that lists average wages for my state. It also lists fastest growing careers. Veterinary technician is on the list of fastest growing careers in my state: growth is at 43.8% and the number of projected annual job openings (in my state, I believe) is around 130. In the US, the average wage for a vet tech is $14.48/hour. My state’s average wage is slightly higher at just over $15 an hour.
