PTs Have 'Hot Jobs,' Says PARADE
In the April 15, 2007 issue of PARADE Magazine, physical therapists were found to have one of the six "Hottest Jobs For College Graduates." The magazine cited the aging baby boomer generation behind the increased demand for physical therapist services. This is the second year in a row PARADE has identified these healthcare professionals as having a "hot career."
Physical therapists are experiencing virtually no unemployment and are reporting overall increased salaries, according to a series of surveys recently conducted and released by the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).
