Physical therapist
This is not a new job but the demand for physical therapists has significantly increased in recent years. One reason for this exponentially higher need for such practitioners is the fact that people are spending more and more time performing sedentary activities.
As Martin Luenendonk, the co-founder and CEO of Cleverism, explains “A few years back, when technology was not advanced, people used to do their tasks manually, which kept their bones, muscles, and joints strong.” It’s not the case nowadays when computers and machines do most of the work. On one hand, it’s helpful and taking a lot of the workload off our shoulders, but on the other hand, it’s affecting our physical health.
“Today, people require physical rehabilitation, pain management, and mobility assistance to function properly, so physical therapists, already ranked 20th in the 100 Best Jobs, will be in demand even more in 2020,” says Luenendonk.
