Interesting Statistic:Number of jobs available in 2012 was 286,400. They predict from 2012 to 2022, the job market will increase by 14% (apparently average in comparison to other industries) and the number of jobs will increase by 41,400.

Also interesting to note that the number of PharmDs graduating yearly (in the last 4-5 years) has been around 12,000-14,000.

They polled 1,987 phar-macists (small sample size in comparison), but these numbers are somewhat higher than previous reports.

Academics, in general, make the least amount starting salary. However, there are better oppor-

tunities for pay increases in academia with pro-motions (unlike retail and hospital).

AACP.com states the assistant professor starts around $103,100.
