Back in 1990...
$53,040 in 1990 USD ($25.50/hr at 2080 hrs) would be equivalent to about $106,520 today
Prescription for Pharmacist Shortage
America is short of pharmacists to properly dispense the more than $70 billion in prescription drugs that we take each year, and the serious shortage is expected to get worse.

In [southern California], union pharmacists earned $13.25 an hour in 1980 compared to $25.50 today. That’s pretty good, considering that their pay hike was nearly 42% greater than inflation during that period.
It is particularly impressive when compared to the average worker, whose real income (after adjusting for inflation) has dropped about 10% since 1980.
