Andrea Wecker of Project Steno talks about the BEST career you’ve never heard of.
When demand exceeds supply, they call it a no-brainer. Thanks to a major nationwide shortage in stenography expertise, court reporters, freelance deposition reporters and broadcast closed captioners are in demand, now, more than ever before.
That’s why the median earnings for a New York state court reporter in 2020 is more than $105,000 per year.
