Career Outlook
Court reporters are highly skilled professionals who record history just as it happens in the courtroom. Using the latest technology, a court reporter can transcribe a verbatim account of the spoken word, often in real time. Because of this unique ability, the court reporters domain is not limited to just the courtroom. Congress, conventions, classrooms, and even television studios routinely employ the services only a well-trained court reporter can offer.
Across the country, there's a shortage of skilled court reporters. And because of the crucial service they provide, these professionals often command top salaries. According to the Journal of Court Reporting, reporters nationally earn an average of $54,900 a year, with over 17% of reporters in the United States earning between $75,000 and $100,000 annually. Regionally, such as in California, salaries can even be higher.
