Job Prospects According to Gard, the employment prospects for pharmacy technologists are rather favorable. The BLS projects a slower rate of job growth of 4% through the year 2030 compared to the average rate of growth for all jobs within the United States. According to Gard, as the population of the United States ages, people will likely require greater care, including the use of pharmaceuticals.
In addition, the prevalence of chronic conditions that require continuing prescription treatment is growing, which is contributing to an increase in demand for pharmacy technicians. The simple line is that pharmacy technicians are vital to the process of providing patients with the high-quality treatment they require, and this will not change in the foreseeable future.
