I tried posting this last night but it disappeared.
Came across some annual graduation numbers from Pharm D. programs:
Year Graduates
2003 7400
2004 8100 (including some 300 residual B. Pharms)
2005 8264
2006 9360
2007 10000 +
2008 10000 +
I am concerned that a glut is coming. "Shortage" in 2000 was 7000 RPhs. By 2003 it was down to 4700. Looks like they will work off the shortage in a couple more years after which the job market should get interesting.
