According to 2012 data from the
US’ Bureau of Labour Statistics:

Working
Conditions
Pharmacists work in clean,
ventilated and well-lit areas.
However, they might have
to spend much of their time
on their feet and barely sit
down. When pharmacists
are working with sterile of
dangerous products, they have
to wear gloves and, sometimes,
even masks and other special
protective equipment.

51 per cent of
pharmacists
work at
pharmacies and
drug stores.

It is extremely common for
pharmacists to work not only
during the day, but at night,
weekends and sometimes
holidays, especially in community
hospitals and pharmacies.
Consulting pharmacists
sometimes travel to nursing
homes or similar facilities to
monitor the drug therapies of
certain patients.
