ATS Resume Optimization for Court Reporters & Legal Videographers
Court reporter is the best-evidenced BLS-direct-code title in this research: SOC 27-3092 counts 17,700 jobs (2024) with "little or no change" projected through 2034 and roughly 1,700 openings a year. The more interesting story sits alongside that flat projection: a documented supply-side shortage, not a demand collapse. NCRA membership data shows newly certified members falling from 243 (2023) to 205 (2025) against roughly 1,120 retirements a year, with the average member now around age 56 and about half eligible to retire; 72% of surveyed US courts reported staffing shortages in the prior year, and in California alone 72% of roughly 2.8 million family-law, probate, and civil hearings had no verbatim record at all. NCRA's RPR (Registered Professional Reporter) and CLVS (Certified Legal Video Specialist) credentials cover both halves of this combined title. We rewrite your resume and LinkedIn profile around the certification and technology vocabulary court-reporting and legal-videography hiring teams and their ATS actually search.
