Pay difference: part time vs. full time?

[maxplanck]

How much of a pay cut does a PT take if s/he chooses to work part time rather than full time?

Will working part time slow down a PTs rate of wage increases?


The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that ~20% of PTs work part time.

The mean national wage is $74K? I don't know of a single PT making that.

If you work part time, you will usually get paid more. In NYC you can make $40-75/hour part time. $30-40/hour full time. However, you give up important benefits such as cont ed, health insurance, malpractice insurance, vacation days, PTO hours, etc if part time.

How much do the PT's you know make?

Depends on where you live. I know many in Cali, NJ, and NYC that make in the 70s or more.
