Veterinary Receptionist Salary in New Hampshire

The sign flips at the middle.

The 10th percentile, $26,800, is $1,960, or 7%, below the national figure, and the 25th, $31,010, is $2,950, or 9%, below.

The median is where the two distributions meet — $38,160 against a national $38,010, a 0% difference — and New Hampshire pulls further ahead from there: 3% at the 75th percentile ($46,270 against $45,130) and 7% at the 90th, where the state figure is $53,370 against $49,950.

Someone benchmarking an offer against national figures for this all-industry occupation would overstate the New Hampshire floor and understate its ceiling.

Half of the New Hampshire workers counted earned between $31,010 and $46,270, a band $15,260 wide, against a national band of $11,170.

The full 10th-to-90th span is wider too, $26,570 against the national $21,190.

The median sits $7,150 above the 25th percentile and $8,110 below the 75th; the national offsets are $4,050 above and $7,120 below.

Most of the extra band width therefore sits below the median, not above it.

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

The New Hampshire hourly median is $18.34, against $18.27 nationally — $0.07 more, a gap that rounds to 0% at the hourly median just as it does at the annual one.

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 5,320 receptionists and information clerks were employed in New Hampshire, 40th among the 51 jurisdictions — a small counted workforce for a state whose median ranks 19th.

The estimate 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 New Hampshire have a median of $48,780 — $10,620, or 28%, more than the all-industry receptionist median on this page, about 1.3 times the receptionist figure.

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 — two occupations counting different workers, not a raise anyone should expect.
