Tempe, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/24/2012 --Respiratory therapist jobs are continuing to grow, despite a gloomy job outlook. According to information that was recently released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in this field of work is expected to grow by 28 percent from 2010 to 2020, which is faster than the average for all occupations.

“Growth in the middle-aged and elderly population will lead to greater demand for respiratory therapy services and treatments, mostly in hospitals and nursing homes,” the BLS article noted.

In addition to being an in-demand occupation, becoming a respiratory therapist can provide people with a good return on their investment in regards to college. In fact, a U.S. News & World Report article included respiratory therapists in their Top 10 list of professions that allow people to get the most from their education.

Although many people would like to learn how to become a respiratory therapist, they may be unsure how to go about the process. Many have questions about what the job entails, what amount of schooling is involved, and what amount of salary can be expected.
