How is job market in SoCal?

[redcabinet]

I know it's pretty saturated... But just how hard is it to find full time positions as a fresh out PharmD grad?

About 10% of the total traffic on SDN used to be an ongoing discussion about how bad the job market is for pharmacists in California. I think that it is so bad and depressing that people quit discussing it here. And by the time I finish typing this, another pharmacy school will have opened in your area.

to be honest, socal is NOT one of the most saturated areas in the country. believe me, i was able to get a job here but not my home state, where i interned and went to pharmacy school. i had no connections and no one i knew in california.
though i do foresee the future to be HORRIBLE in socal in terms of finding a job, as is everywhere in the US, as these pharmacy schools are popping out new grads

rxm's are gonna have to find excuses to fit in new pharmacists. but all i can see is interruption in workflow and inevitably a cut in major hours. what was these acpe organizations thinking
