U.S. News and World Report: Best Jobs of 2017: Speech Language Pathologist
Job prospects look bright for speech-language pathologists. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicts that 28,900 jobs will open up before 2024. Since instances of speech and language impairments increase with age, the BLS predicts that the aging baby boomer generation will spur this job growth. The BLS also cites the increased awareness of speech and language disorders in children as another reason for this job boom.
