Good news for Pharma workers

Ed Silverman over a Pharmalot reports here that while there have been a number of layoffs in the Pharma industry, most workers are finding jobs at comparable or higher levels. In fact, Ed writes:

Of those laid off, 73 percent found new jobs at the same or higher level, and 84 percent did so without relocating.

The bottom line is this: People in the Pharmaceutical industry need to realize that while there has been a tremendous amount of change in the industry...while the newspaper seem to be full of negative press about the future of the industry...there still exists a tremendous amount of opportunity in Pharma. The Pharmaceutical Industry is still...by far...the most exciting and rewarding industry out there. People are being laid off...some companies are downsizing...but there is still a lot of hiring going on.

And I see it every day.
