The 2016 AVMA Report on the Market for Veterinarians, released in late October examined these categories:
- Employment, unemployment, and underemployment
- Income, present value of the veterinary degree
- Causes of negative well-being: debt, job/career satisfaction and income
- Expenditure patterns
- Burnout scores
- Health

The report found that the largest market is private practice (e.g., small animal, equine, etc.), which around three-quarters of the veterinarians work in. The remaining quarter consists of veterinarians in the education, research, industry, government, nonprofits, consulting and banking.
