Most pharmacists are making more money than they did a year ago and are happy in their jobs, but they are also experiencing increased on-the-job stress related to an increased workload, the results of Drug Topics’ 2015 Salary Survey indicate.
In the survey, 73.2% of the nearly 2000 US pharmacists polled reported being satisfied, very satisfied, or extremely satisfied with their current pharmacy job, with low unemployment rates, minimal overtime, and high salaries reported among the top reasons for high career satisfaction.
Salaries Increase
The survey results showed that 42.6% of hourly paid pharmacists make more than $61 per hour, which is an increase from approximately one-third of pharmacists in 2013.
Most salaried pharmacists (79.2%) reported earning more than $101,000 annually. Additionally, 46.9% of respondents said they received additional income last year, such as commissions, bonuses, or profit-sharing. Of those who reported additional income, 53.3% said they received $3999 or less. - See more at: http://www.pharmacytimes.com/contributor/alex-barker-pharmd/2015/01/pharmacists-see-higher-salaries-but-more-stress#sthash.VE1jHSR8.dpuf
