The market

How many speech-language pathologists work in New York

24,723 speech-language pathologists hold an active individual NPI with a practice address in New York, 123.6 per 100,000 residents, and 871 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.
