Career Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: “Employment of pharmacy technicians and aides is expected to increase much faster than the average for all occupations. The increased number of middle-aged and elderly people—who use more prescription drugs than younger people—will spur demand for pharmacy workers throughout the projection period. In addition, as scientific advances lead to new drugs, and as more people obtain prescription drug coverage, pharmacy workers will be needed in growing numbers.”
