pharmacy job market

is the job market for the pharmacist tighter because of the current economy?

Target pharmacy is cutting one part time pharmacist at 15 locations in our district. I have heard that several other chains are also cutting hours. That is going to make it tougher to find another job, in my estimation. And when you can find a job, every company is tightening hours so there will be much more work to do with less help.

That is the case with a local manhattan chain as well. Rx volume going up but help hours getting reduced. Also more and more new positions hiring one PIC, and a weekend floater. That means those who have a desire to balance life with work or are older are SOL. Oh well.

We haven't seen the beginning of the decline of the Pharmacist market. The schools have over-produced pharmacists for roles that have yet to be realized, and more older pharmacists are looking for part time work due to the weak economy. Pharmacists will have to work longer hours, at harder more inane jobs and eventually make less money. Pharmacy is by far the weakest of the medical fields, as it can be more easily outsourced to other professionals. Wait for the rise of the better trained, better educated technician to make an impact! Pharmacists will cease being so smug!
