    Physical therapists in New England earned less income than those in other regions in 1981. This income disparity for American Physical Therapy Association members persisted across various demographic and professional factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Economics
    • Physical Therapy Workforce Studies

    Background:

    • Regional income disparities are a concern within professional organizations.
    • Previous assumptions suggested lower earnings for physical therapists in New England.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate regional income differences among full-time employed American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) members.
    • To specifically test if incomes in New England were lower compared to other US regions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data from the 1982 APTA membership survey.
    • Employed a random sample representing 20% of the APTA membership with a 62.8% response rate.

    Main Results:

    • A significantly higher proportion of APTA members in New England reported lower incomes in 1981 compared to six other regions (p<0.0001 for women, p<0.01 for men).

  • These income disparities remained significant after controlling for age, experience, primary role, education, and degree level.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study confirms lower income levels for physical therapists in New England compared to other regions.
    • Income differences were substantial and not explained by common professional or demographic variables.
