TRENDS
As population ages, healthcare salaries rise
By Anne Zieger

With the U.S. population aging, salaries have begun to rise for nurses, pharmacists,
physical therapists, occupational therapists and home health aides, according to a
new study by a compensation researcher.

According to a new survey by Compdata Surveys, occupational and physical

therapists both saw salary increases of 10 percent over the last three years. For
example, licensed physical therapists make $73,300 per year today; that's a 12.9
percent salary bump from 2007. Occupational therapists, meanwhile, have seen their
salaries climb by a substantial 16.9 percent.

Registered nurse salaries have gone up 9.2 percent, a bit less than
physical/occupational therapists. (This seems somewhat surprising, given the
ongoing nursing shortage, but apparently other factors are at work.) RN salaries
average $61,300 per year, with salary increases of $2,000 to $3,000 per year.

Even home health aides, traditionally the lowest-paid and least skilled workers in the
business, have seen their salaries climb by 11.2 percent over the past three years, to
$24,500.
