PT will be a long-term trend in long-term care
Rehab Regs, February 6, 2004
Physical therapy is expected to generate new jobs for the next 40 years, says workplace expert John A. Challenger in his annual job forecast, published in Newsday. As baby boomers age, long-term care is expected to become a larger industry, especially when this population begins to retire en masse. The need for physical therapy is expected to increase as boomers demand rehab as they age. Other jobs expected to experience an increased demand include pharmacists, drug sales representatives, in-home nurses, and industries including preventative health care, insurance, and financial planners.
