Pharmaceutical Companies Shed Thousands of Jobs; PharmaceuticalCrossing Revs Up Efforts to Improve Job Market (2009-02-02)
Leading pharmaceutical companies added uncertainty to their industry after AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline announced major job cuts in the wake of greater generic drug competition. The latest round of cuts follows Pfizer's merger with Wyeth which gave way to a combined reduction of nearly 19,500 jobs at both the companies. PharmaceuticalCrossing, the exclusive job board for pharmaceutical professionals, is aware of the latest cuts in the industry, and strives to post more and more pharmaceutical jobs in its database. As of now, more than 25,000 jobs have been posted on the site, which are new and active. The site's only mission is to track down every pharmaceutical job opening through research, offering a comprehensive collection of researched job openings in the process.
