Respiratory Therapists

Significant Points

• Job opportunities will be very good, especially for therapists with cardiopulmonary care skills or experience working with infants.
• All States (except Alaska and Hawaii), the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico require respiratory therapists to obtain a license.
• Hospitals will continue to employ the vast majority of respiratory therapists, but a growing number of therapists will work in other settings.
