The Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected a 39% increase in employment for Physical Therapists by the end of 2020.  Unlike previous generations, Baby Boomers are staying active long after retiring and enjoying greater access to quality healthcare.  Besides their central role in injury rehabilitation, PTs also play a key role in treatment and management of chronic conditions.  Salaries for therapists have been grown along with the demand for their services.  In 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported the median salary for PTs to be $76,310, but salaries vary by work environment and by state.  Ever wonder which state pays the highest?
