Read this one carefully. The published 2025 median is $62,930 a year, the bottom tenth earn $38,910 or less and the top tenth $100,990 or more, but the wage survey reports laboratory technologists and technicians together. Technicians hold the two year degree, and there is no official figure for technicians alone.
