What you can expect to experience while on the job
Employment of rehabilitation counselors is projected to grow 11 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 9,900 openings for rehabilitation counselors are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
