Veterinary Receptionist Salary in Ohio

Every published Ohio percentile is below its national counterpart.

The gap is narrowest at the median, 5%, and widest around it: the 25th percentile, $29,910, and the 75th, $39,520, are each 12% below the national figures of $33,960 and $45,130.

The ends sit in between — the 10th percentile, $26,070, is 9% below the national $28,760, and the 90th, $46,840, is 6% below the national $49,950.

Benchmarking an Ohio posting against national figures for this all-industry occupation would overstate the Ohio 25th and 75th percentiles more than either end, and the median least of all.

Half of the Ohio workers counted earned between $29,910 and $39,520, a band $9,610 wide, against a national band of $11,170 — the Ohio middle is visibly tighter.

The full 10th-to-90th span is $20,770, a little under the national span of $21,190.

Inside the band, the median sits $6,010 above the 25th percentile and $3,600 below the 75th, so it sits in the upper half — the national median, by comparison, sits in the lower half of its own band.

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

The Ohio hourly median is $17.27, against $18.27 nationally — $1 less an hour, the same 5% 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 30,850 receptionists and information clerks were employed in Ohio, 8th 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 of them work in veterinary settings, and it is a headcount of people in jobs, not a count of openings.

The same release ranks the Ohio median 38th, so the state counts many workers in this occupation even though its median sits in the lower half of the national table.

In the same release, veterinary technologists and technicians in Ohio have a median of $47,990 — $12,070, or 34%, more than the all-industry receptionist median on this page.

The technician median is 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.
