Overview
The Hand Therapy Certification Commission (HTCC) posted a salary
survey on the HTCC website in March 2007. The purpose of the
survey was to obtain information frequently requested by therapists
and employers, to serve as a resource to the hand therapy community
by sharing information, and to provide ongoing data. 2248 surveys
were completed (about twice as many as completed in 2004); 98%
of the respondents were Certified Hand Therapists (CHTs) and
2% were not. Ninety-four percent of the respondents were from
the United States (US), with 3% from Canada and 1% from Australia.
