How much would a physical therapy aide make a month in the city of Shreveport, LA or the surrounding area?

I am graduating from a online course for PTA from Penn Foster and wondering what would be the average salary a month, and a year total? If anybody knows i would appreciate it.

First, be sure to realize, you will not be a PTA, you will be a physical therapy aide or rehab technician. A PTA is a physical therapist assistant which is a (usually) licensed technician/professional with at least a two year degree from an accredited PTA program. (Just trying to save you some embarrassment from applying for “PTA” jobs….). Penn Foster is not a PTA program, it’s an aide program. Technically, you don’t need any formal training to be an aide….just a high school graduate.

While I cannot comment on the Shreveport area specifically, national average rate is about $8.20/hr.
