Employment

          Forensic pathologists are able to be employed  by a variety of places. Anything from state to federal governments, hospitals, or even police departments (as shown by Figure 1). In an article on forensics, Barry Franklin states: "The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics includes forensic pathology in the same category as many of the other forensic sciences, and it indicates that the outlook for jobs in the field is healthy and growing. According to the 2010 BLS report, the rate of growth in the general field of forensic science should be about 19 percent". This shows what a healthy, flourishing career field forensic pathology is.
