Pharmacy Technician Job Outlook
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of Pharmacy Technicians is projected to grow 5 percent from 2021 to 2031. Increased demand for prescription medications will lead to more demand for pharmaceutical services.
The population is aging, and older people typically use more prescription medicines than younger people. Higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes among all age groups also will lead to increased demand for prescription medications.
