Winners and Losers in 2021
Comparing data from 2020 and into 2021 thus far, we noted that the following professions experienced raises on average when it comes to pay:
- Physical Therapist
- Physical Therapist Resident
- Rehab Therapy Support Staff
All three of these received some type of pay raise when comparing the two time blocks.
- Occupational Therapist
- Physical Therapist Assistant
- Rehab Therapy Management Staff
We also noticed an encouraging trend of Physical Therapist Residents getting paid better; however, this is paired at the cost of Physical Therapists who have completed their residency getting paid notably below average, despite having finished post-graduate advanced training.
