A few quotes stood out to me:

Pharmacists with five or fewer years of experience reported an average student loan debt of $108,407 when they graduated and a current student loan debt of $76,791. In 2009, these figures were $79,895 and $61,667, respectively, and in 2004 these figures were $42,600 and $28,854.

The increase in services and new roles has led to more job stress and dissatisfaction for pharmacy practitioners. The most satisfied pharmacists are those outside of patient care areas. In addition, pharmacists are feeling less able to change jobs and move around as they have in the past.

Overall, 75.0% of licensed pharmacists responding to the survey in 2014 were working and practicing as a pharmacist or working in a pharmacy-related career. This compares to 88.3% in 2009, 86.0% in 2004 and 88.2% in 2000.
