US Bureau of Labor statistics 2006: PTs 172,948 PTAs 60,296 PT aides 46,242 =279486
OTs 98,858 OTAs 24,981 OT Aides 8,235 =132074 So OT has about 47% of PT, or twice as many PTs as OTs were employed in the US in 2006. The statistics are part of the story... but with OTs dominant in US pediatrics due to laws related to school services many of the other services are getting by with less.
