Hire a Phlebotomist in Bozeman, MT
You need a person who can open the draw station. A national midpoint pasted into the posting will not hire that person. The median is the middle of phlebotomists already employed here, and the 75th is what an experienced phlebotomist already earns here. The 75th percentile in Bozeman is about $51.6K.
What to offer
A small lab that copies a national midpoint will lose a reliable phlebotomist to the hospital outpatient desk. Use this metro's median for someone you will still be coaching, and the 75th for someone who can open the draw station alone. Blank cells mean BLS did not publish that percentile here.
| Percentile | Metro | MT | U.S. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25th | $43,110 | $38,920 | $38,190 |
| Median | $45,470 | $45,470 | $45,230 |
| 75th | $51,550 | $48,480 | $48,930 |

How hard this is to fill
For one manager
You need someone who can open a draw station, not a technologist who runs the analyzer. Ask about unaided venipunctures, a queue versus a hospital round, and the state credential in California, Louisiana, Nevada, or Washington.
The name, the time, and the tube type should be finished before the patient leaves the chair. A fast draw with a sloppy label is the expensive kind of fast, and a national certificate still does not replace the state rule.
License and training
BLS says a state may require training, a license, or a certificate. Employers often still want PBT(ASCP), RPT(AMT), or a National Healthcareer Association CPT when the statute is quiet. A state rule appears below only where a statute or board page was read. If your state is missing, confirm the rule before you treat a certificate as optional or as a license.

Questions
What do phlebotomists earn in Bozeman, MT?
In Bozeman, the May 2025 median is about $45.5K, within 3 percent of the U.S. median. The state median is about $45.5K, and this metro is within 3 percent of that figure. Most phlebotomists in Bozeman earn between about $43.1K (25th percentile) and $51.6K (75th percentile).
Where do phlebotomists work in Bozeman?
Hospitals and diagnostic labs are the large employers in the national figures, and offices and donor sites hire phlebotomists too. An empty extract for Bozeman means we had no matched workplaces, not that the jobs are gone.
Do I need a state certificate to draw blood in Montana?
Read the Montana section on this page. California, Louisiana, Nevada, and Washington are the states where we found a required credential. Florida excludes phlebotomists from the clinical laboratory personnel license, and New York says they are not licensed. If Montana is not one of those, confirm it locally before you start in Bozeman.
What should a small lab in Bozeman require?
Require the state credential if Montana has one, a clean labeling habit, and enough sticks that you are not their first vein. National openings are about 18.0 thousand a year and projected growth is 6.8%, which describes the country. Bozeman is the wage table and barely half as many of these workers as a typical metro, not that national line.
