Pharmacists are in such high demand that Walgreens is dangling lucrative signing bonuses to fill open positions.
The amount that the pharmacy chain is offering in the signing bonuses to recruit pharmacists varies, but can go as high as $75,000, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.
The lucrative bonuses come with a requirement for the new pharmacists to stick around in their positions for a period of time, typically a year or longer, the person said. News of the signing bonuses was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
