Not only are healthcare professionals keeping their jobs during the recession, they're getting raises too! According to Healthcare Finance News, salaries for healthcare professionals have increased over the past three years, and, depending on the economy, should continue to increase over the next several years. Why the jump in salaries during an economic recession? The aging population is the primary cause, according to the article. CompData Surveys reported the salary increases via their "2009 Compensation Data Healthcare" study.
Among the trends cited in the article:
Nurses - Up 9.2%
Physical Therapists - Up 12.9%
Pharmacists - Up 10.5%
