A recent article posted on the American Physical Therapy Association website indicates that Physical Therapy is one of the few professions that predict growth over the next 5-10 years.
The article states "In its report titled "Preparing the Workers of Today for the Jobs of Tomorrow," the President's Council of Economic Advisers says that health care "dominates" the list of industries that are projected to add the most jobs during 2008-2016. The increased demand in this area stems largely from an aging population that will require care at home, in nursing care facilities, and in inpatient and outpatient settings. Occupations that will "likely grow in importance" include PTs and physical therapist assistants. In addition, the expected expansion of health care coverage through reform measures could lead to increased demand for health care professionals."
This is definitely good news for physical therapists practicing in Indiana.
