Our second program in this year’s Careers in Healthcare will focus on careers in pharmacy services. Although the economy and the job market are not in the best shape right now, there is a demand for and, in actuality, a shortage of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Employment of pharmacists is expected to grow by 17 percent between 2008 and 2018. Employment of pharmacy technicians and aides is expected to increase by 25 percent from 2008 to 2018.
There will be an anticipated shortfall of about 157,000 pharmacists by 2020, according to findings from the Pharmacy Manpower Project Inc. This means that those who choose a career in pharmacy are not only virtually guaranteed jobs, but will be paid top dollar as drug stores, mass market retailers, pharmaceutical research corporations, hospitals and a number of other operations compete to hire qualified candidates.
