Employment of PT's is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2008....over the long run, the demand for physical therapists should continue to rise as a result of:
- Increased number of individuals with disabilities
- Baby-boomers entering prime age for heart attacks and strokes
- Advanced technologies to save larger proportion of babies with birth defects
- Increased interest in health promotion

It is also interesting to note that the unemployment rate for Physical Therapists in the US is 1.1%, down from 3.2% in the spring of 1999.
