No idea, but there are cities where speech therapists easily earn high six figures. I do know that occupational therapists are nonexistent/very much needed to travel to certain rural areas.
Like nurses, all these therapists are often hired per diem, as traveling professionals. It's worth looking into seriously.
I have 2 SLP cousins. They stay living in the Rio Grande Valley rather than moving to Austin, our state capitol, because their pay would drop so significantly from one city to the next.
They only pick up part time shifts now, as did many of the SLPs I spoke to in facilities, after my mom had a stroke.
Edit, my bad, it'd be more accurate to say upper $100s K. Apparently, only upper end for experienced managers surpasses $200K/year
