Job Outlook for Clinical Psychologists
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects employment growth of 11% from 2012 to 2022 for the category of professionals that includes clinical psychologists. This rate of growth reflects an increased interest in the potential of psychologists to assess and treat common disorders, including depression, stress and addiction. As the population continues to age, demand is expected to grow for psychologists who specialize in treating seniors who have age-related anxieties.
