This question is about staff pharmacist jobs.

Are pharmacist jobs declining?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 17, 2021

Yes, pharmacist jobs are declining slightly. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for pharmacists is projected to decline 2% from 2020 to 2030.

One reason is that, as more people fill their orders online or through the mail, there will be less demand for pharmacists working in retail pharmacies and drug stores. Also, as pharmacy chains reduce the number of their retail locations, there will be fewer jobs available.

Additionally, pharmacist technicians now perform tasks previously done by pharmacists, such as preparing some medications.

However, pharmacists will continue to be needed in the healthcare setting, especially in hospitals and clinics, where they provide prescriptions and are often involved in direct patient care.
