Massage Therapy Career Outlook*
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, (2012-13):
"Employment of massage therapists is expected to grow by 20 percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all occupations. Continued growth in the demand for massage services will lead to new openings for massage therapists."
The growing demand for massage therapists matches the growth in spas, which employ a great number of massage therapists. States like Colorado require a massage therapy license to practice, which can aid public perception regarding the legitimacy of practicing massage therapists.
Massage therapy has mass appeal that's grown in recent years, especially among adults 55 years and over who are interested in enjoying longer, healthier lives. For them, and for young adults who have no stigma associated with holistic approaches, massage therapy offers rejuvenation.
