Veterinarians’ incomes continued to increase from 2005-2007, though few expect incomes to increase as much from 2007-2009.
At the end of 2007, veterinarians earned more in private practice than in many areas of public practice—and men still earned more than women.
Income figures for 2007 come from the most recent Biennial Economic Survey, which the AVMA conducted this past spring to collect data from the previous calendar year. The AVMA released the survey results in late November.
While the survey may not reflect the current economic climate, it does provide hard figures for veterinarians’ incomes every two years going back to 1984. The most recent results confirm that long-term trends continued from 2005-2007.
“Veterinary incomes are up across the board, but some sectors of veterinary medicine are doing better than others,” said Dr. W. Ron DeHaven, AVMA CEO. “We need to further explore the reasons behind disparities in what veterinarians earn based on their type of employment and even their gender.”
