    In Montana, employment for pharmacy technicians is projected to grow much faster than the statewide average for all occupations through 2012.

    Nationally, the number of jobs for pharmacy technicians is expected to increase faster than average through the year 2012.

    Much of the increase in jobs for pharmacy technicians will be due to the growing number of middle-aged and elderly people. These groups tend to use more prescription drugs than younger people. In addition, insurance companies and pharmacies are concerned about costs. They will rely on technicians to perform tasks once done by pharmacists. This trend will also increase the number of jobs for technicians.

    Job opportunities will be good, especially for technicians who have formal training or previous experience.
