Physical Therapy Jobs Not Paying Enough?

Despite the fact that physical therapy jobs are expected to rise by 27% over the next ten years, employers say they'll have a hard time staffing healthcare openings and retaining physical therapy healthcare careers.

According to pubmed.com, the two most important reasons for leaving a job were "desire to pursue a different area of physical therapy" and "insufficient salary to meet financial needs."

According to the bureau of Labor Statistics, this physical therapy jobs problem may be hampered by "...the proposed Federal legislation imposing limits on reimbursement for therapy services [this may] affect the short-term job outlook for physical therapists."

Employers say to combat these problems they'll have to come up with various strategies to retain their staff.

Indications are that they'll have to do more research and testing to come up with an effective plan to target this medical job field.
