Lead pharmacist technician salary

Over the last three decades, U.S. workers' have experienced salary stagnation compared to inflation, despite gains in both productivity and GDP. We know that, on average, workers receive higher pay advances when they change jobs or switch employers than if they remain in a position or are internally promoted. So, while the previous generation regularly spent entire careers within a single company, this is a rarity today. This change is due, in part, to the fact that industries change much more quickly today; jobs come and go; relevant trends one decade are replaced with new trends that require novel skill-sets.

This is certainly true for healthcare, and as such, pharmacists have better salary prospects throughout their career than most other healthcare professionals. Specifically, pharmacists experienced a cataclysmic shift in professional identity beginning in the 1990s: in the wake of closing 'mom and pop pharmacies,' pharmacists had to re-imagine and diversify their roles. As such, pharmacists have a leg up with a developed professional culture already adept and flexible in meeting future needs. I have no doubt in the profession's ability to continue matching the ever-variable needs of healthcare and the prospects for future generations of pharmacists.
