Description
The 2022 NAVTA Demographics survey was released during VMX 2023. This week we discuss the findings, actions we can take, and questions for the future.
Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and President-Elect of NAVTA, Beckie Mossor, RVT, take a deep dive into the findings of this critical survey. The last demographics survey was conducted in 2016, and, wow, some things have changed - and others remained, sadly, the same.
The survey results revealed the following highlights:
• The average Veterinary Technician is earning 25% more than in 2016.• More than 70% of Veterinary Technicians have an Associates’ degree, up 16% from 2016.• More than 1/3 of Veterinary Technicians have student loan debt, averaging $29,700/person.• One-third of Veterinary Technicians have a second job, most often at full-time.
Viewfinders, this is an important discussion for the veterinary profession. We encourage you to share it with your colleagues, discuss your thoughts, and get involved!
