Current Rate in Sacramento?

[Realized RPh]

Greetings,
I am currently thinking of trying to relocate to Sacramento area from Phoenix. Can anyone shed some light on the job market there such as the rate of pay right now. I already know California is very saturated but thought I would ask what new grads or relocated pharmacists have been making there now. Thanks!

Expect 62-75 depending on job and experience.

How's the job market over there? I'll plan to move to Northern CA after graduation.

Job market in Sac is bad

I’m a PIC at a retail grocery store chain in Sacramento county and make just shy of $75/hr. We did go without raises this previous year and probably won’t get one this upcoming year. It’s a pretty tight market though and recently had all those Raley pharmacies close down - not quite sure how all those that lost their jobs fared. I think most openings are for PICs because no one wants the headache of being PIC and staff RPH turnover rate is pretty low. At least at my chain.
