Based upon which area of the country a physical therapist is working will partially determine the amount an employer will need to pay. This is based on the fact that the cost of living in America varies from state to state. More specifically, some metropolitan areas of the United States have a higher than average cost of living. The level of experience a physical therapist possesses will also factor in to how much money an employer will offer.
