The market

How many speech-language pathologists work in Michigan

4,167 speech-language pathologists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in Michigan, 41.1 per 100,000 residents, and 526 new ones enrolled in the last twelve months. A high wage with few clinicians per capita usually means employers are competing for people; a low one in a crowded market means the opposite.
