drugstore chain, grocery store, department store, or mass merchandiser.
Most community pharmacists were salaried employees, but some were
self-employed owners. About 23 percent of pharmacists worked in
hospitals. A small proportion worked in mail-order and Internet
pharmacies, pharmaceutical wholesalers, offices of physicians, and the
Federal Government.
