Australia

Wages for pharmacists in Australia appear to have stagnated.The award wages for a pharmacist is $812 a week. Pharmacist graduates are the lowest paid university graduates most years. Most pharmacists do earn above the award wage; the average male pharmacist earns $65,000, a female pharmacist averages $56,500. Over recent years, wages have stagnated, and even gone backwards. There are more graduates expected in the next few years making it even harder to get a job. Job security and increase in wages with regards to c.p.i could be unlikely. This is due to the large numbers of pharmacy graduates in recent years, and government desire to lower PBS costs. Contract and casual work is becoming more common. A contract pharmacist is self-employed and often called a locum; these pharmacists may be hired for one shift or for a longer period of time. There are accounts of underemployment and unemployment emerging recently.

Canada

The wages in Canada at about CAD $95,000 are slightly better than Australia but not as good as U.S.A. In the fiscal year 2010-2011 the category for foreign pharmacists to migrate to Canada was filled by march 2011. 1000 foreign pharmacists were taken. It seems there could be an over supply of pharmacist in Canada soon as well, some discussion forums speculate that it may no longer be on the NOC list for Immigration to Canada.

It really depends on where you are. In the United States, the closer you are to a big city, or to research universities, the more likely you are to make a very respectable salary. By some estimates, in major cities like New York or San Francisco, salaries can range from $80,000 to $112,000. It is worth noting that the highest-paid pharmacists are employed by the pharmaceutical industry or by companies that research and manufacture medicines. However, it is also worth noting that pharmacists in smaller cities and rural locations may not be making this kind of salary; compensation may be in the $60-75,000 range.
