Veterinary Receptionist Salary in Hawaii

Every published Hawaii percentile is above its national counterpart.

The gap is widest at the low end: the 10th percentile, $35,050, is $6,290, or 22%, above the national figure, and the 25th, $37,770, is 11% higher.

It narrows through the middle — 9% at the median and 6% at the 75th percentile ($47,840 against $45,130) — then widens again at the 90th, where the Hawaii figure of $55,310 is $5,360, or 11%, above the national $49,950.

Someone benchmarking a Hawaii offer against national figures for this all-industry occupation would understate the local floor more than its middle.

Half of the Hawaii workers counted earned between $37,770 and $47,840, a band $10,070 wide, against the national band of $11,170 — the middle of the Hawaii distribution is more compressed.

The full 10th-to-90th span is $20,260, against $21,190 nationally.

The median sits $3,830 above the 25th percentile and $6,240 below the 75th, so it sits in the lower half of the band.

OEWS does not publish causes, and this row counts every industry, so the shape cannot be read as anything about veterinary employers.

The Hawaii hourly median is $20.00, against $18.27 nationally — $1.73 more, the same 9% gap as the annual median.

The data set carries hourly pay at the median only, so it is the figure to hold an hourly posting against.

Before comparing a posted rate with the annual percentiles, ask how many hours a week the role is scheduled.

BLS estimates 3,510 receptionists and information clerks were employed in Hawaii, 43rd among the 51 jurisdictions.

That is a count across every industry — hotels, offices, clinics and every other employer — so it says nothing about how many work in veterinary settings, and it is a headcount of people in jobs, not a count of openings.

In the same release, veterinary technologists and technicians in Hawaii have a median of $48,550 — $6,950, or 17%, more than the all-industry receptionist median on this page.

That comparison sets a veterinary occupation against an all-industry one, so it is context for someone weighing a move into technician work, not a measure of what a veterinary front desk pays.
