Walgreens pharmacist job postings in California decreased substantially?

Hi all,

From time to time, I've been checking pharmacist job posting with Walgreens.
Last year, I used to see a lot more job posting for pharmacist positions in California statewide, but when I checked recently, I'm not seeing as many postings as I used to.
I'm only seeing floater and pharmacy manager positions, no staff RPh opening.

Anyone with an insight on this?
Is this due to saturation getting worse? Making room for new grads (cyclical trend)? Or recent budget change?

Most of the 'postings' are already filled man. Hope you got a job lined up already...

Not necessarily true from my experience, at least with Wag.
And I currently work as a pharmacist, thank you.

There is literally no reason for a chain to hire externally unless they are desperate or didn't manage their intern pool correctly. Plenty of people want to transfer to more desirable locations. A lot of part-time floaters get tired of instability and driving everywhere. Not a few PIC positions are for absolute trash stores

There is nothing worse than landing a new job - and finding out that you are the manager over a disaster.

I think we continue to be in similar circumstances

All pharmacy job postings have drastically decreased in my area as well

It is definitely shrinking. There were more opportunities when I checked a few years back. A lot of jobs being snagged up by out of state grads too.
