    Saturation ?

    Has anyone else read the recent article in the pj in relation to employment prospects etc.

    What is everyones take, I personally feel the market WON'T become saturated as it seems a lot of pharmacists are heading out due to lack of satisfaction.

    Re: Saturation ?

    Just a few thoughts on the 'saturation' of the job market for pharmacists.

    The articles also forget at times that full-time male pharmacists retiring are replaced by female pharmacists who take time out to have families or work reduced hours.
    (Nothing gender-biased implied here - just thinking things through)

    I'm also anticipating a trend for the general workforce to want to reduce their hours due to the increasingly stressful nature of the job and the 'extended hours' culture. I would expect that younger pharmacists have more sense than my generation had - to slog away at work and miss their children's formative years, or not see daylight for 6 days at a time.

    Therefore saturation will probably not occur as fast as we would initially think it would.
