Court reporting ranked in top 100 best jobs in country

Previously, this blog discussed how court reporting was ranked as No. 4 on CareerCast's list of the "20 Great Jobs Without a College Degree." Not only can Milwaukee court reporters earn competitive salaries, they are working in a profession that is respected and admired.

Individuals who have strong attention to detail, thrive in a fast-paced environment and have great communication skills will be able to thrive in a court reporting position. A more recent report from CareerCast also listed this job as the 68th best in the country.

According to the website, the list was based on environment, income, outlook, and stress. With a robust hiring outlook, certified court reporters found themselves keeping pace with other positions that require a four-year college degree.

Rocco LaDuca covers crime and courts at the Observer-Dispatch in Utica, New York. He explained to The Wall Street Journal that he would not be happy doing anything else because people in the community are affected by what he writes.

"I'm not sure I'd be happy in another setting," he said. "I can't think of any job that would be as exciting or as fulfilling as this."

A similar mindset can be taken by Wisconsin court reporters. Even as electronic recording devices are hitting the market, the need for strong individuals cannot be overlooked. Machines can miss important pauses, glances or even quietly spoken words that a real person will not scale over.

By continuously providing realtime court reporting and services that are not possible with electronic reporting, the job market is likely to remain stable, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). On their website, the BLS explained that the number of court reporters is expected to grow through 2018 and that there will continue to be a need for accurate transcriptions of courtroom cases.
