CVS, Walgreens, Target, all those retails that have pharmacies in them are always looking to hire Pharmacist. They start at $80k/yr it really depends on experience.

I would STRONGLY advise that you move only if you have a job offer here. There are a lot of unemployed pharmacists in Houston.

You might want to look at the Rio Grande Valley (McAllen) area. There's more of a demand.

I've spoken with some newly hired pharmacists and was told that even if you do get a job, you will often initially be hired as a roving pharmacist that has to rotate between various locations.

Yep. Any city as big as Houston with that many Asians and a cost of living that low CAN'T be a good place to find a job as a pharmacist.
