An EMT's pay depends on several factors, including the geographical area in which they work, the agency through which they work, whether they are employed in the private or public sector, their level of experience, and what level of training they've received.

According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for Emergency Medical Technicians and paramedics have been increasing steadily since 2002, and employment for these positions is expected to grow faster than the average through 2022. Job prospects are predicted to be good, particularly in cities such as New York City and with private ambulance services. Employment of emergency medical technicians and paramedics is expected to grow by 23 percent between 2016 and 2022, which is faster than the average for all occupations. Full-time paid EMTs and paramedics will be needed to replace unpaid volunteers, as it is becoming increasingly difficult for emergency medical services to recruit and retain unpaid volunteers. As a result, more paid EMTs and paramedics will be needed. Furthermore, as the large baby boom generation ages and becomes more likely to have medical emergencies, demand will increase for EMTs and paramedics. The Bureau of Labor Statistics also predicts continued demand for part-time, volunteer EMTs and paramedics in rural areas and smaller metropolitan areas.
