Veterinarian Employment
Veterinarians held about 62,000 jobs in 2006. According to the American
Veterinary Medical Association, about 3 out of 4 veterinarians were employed in
a solo or group practice. Most others were salaried employees of another
veterinary practice. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the
Federal Government employed about 1,400 civilian veterinarians, chiefly in the
U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and, increasingly,
Homeland Security. Other employers of veterinarians are State and local
governments, colleges of veterinary medicine, medical schools, research
laboratories, animal food companies, and pharmaceutical companies. A few
veterinarians work for zoos, but most veterinarians caring for zoo animals are
private practitioners who contract with the zoos to provide services, usually on
a part-time basis.
