What you can expect to experience while on the job
Employment of speech-language pathologists is projected to grow 29 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 15,200 openings for speech-language pathologists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
