Did anyone pay attention to the new BLS stats? Pharmacist job outlook from 2014 - 2024 is 3%!!! around 9000 jobs
Currently we're pumping out more grads than that each YEAR
Just a couple years ago it was 16%. What happened? Did they finally catch on?
Everyone better hold on to your job tight.
This isn't news. The expected unemployment for new pharmacy grads is 20% in 2020. Luckily my four year engineering degree is "Job Outlook, 2014-24 1% (Little or no change)" so 3% is triple the job growth and is a feast for me. I feel bad for all the non-super hungry people in pharmacy school looking for an easy, rewarding or stable job because that doesn't exist in this field. This field is about straight greed and only the greediest will survive.
