A Deeper Look at SLP Salaries

Thanks so much for reading and engaging with our Speech Pathology infographic this week! We really appreciate your support and want to be sure we listen to those who listen to us. Some of you have asked to know more about the salary information that we used for the infographic, and we're happy to share. The table below was sourced from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and has both the mean and median annual salaries for each of the 50 states, as well as Washington DC and Puerto Rico. The BLS annual data is calculated by multiplying the mean or median hourly wage for each state by 2080 hours, which is what the US Department of Labor categorizes as a full labor year.
