Becoming a physical therapy assistant is especially attractive in the current economic climate. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 60,000 physical therapy assistants in 2006, and by 2016 there is going to be a 29% increase in employment opportunities. As the population grows older, the demand for physical therapy assistants also increases - this parallel relationship allows for steady work.
