*Limitations*

This study, though novel, was limited in several ways. First, the available data were only taken from one source, Pharmacy Week. While Pharmacy Week does have a variety of job listings that encompass the entire United States, there are other sources of advertisements that are used to hire pharmacy technicians. The short data collection window only provides a brief snapshot of what jobs were being advertised during that time frame. While the sample size is robust for 14 days, it only reflects the needs at that specific time. Further, data collection was performed by four di fferent researchers. While they all received training on the research protocol and data collection tools, no assessment for interrater reliability was performed.
