Full-line distributor sales topped $300 billion in 2012 - DQSA lot/item level tracking stats

Full-line distributor sales topped $300 billion in 2012, representing 91% of pharma sales - Pharmaceutical Commerce:

"The Factbook contains operational details often of high interest to vendors serving wholesalers’ infrastructure needs. One particular number to call out: two out of three HDMA members are already tracking lot-level barcodes through their systems for at least some of their products. Lot-level tracking is now the centerpiece of the Drug Quality and Security Act, which will mandate such tracking over the next four years. Data on item-level tracking (the next stage in DQSA) is occurring, but at significantly lower percentages."

Average CA Designated Representative Salary

Updated June 5, 2017

The link in the original post broke.

I checked on SimplyHired again. It wasn't very easy this time. From the only piece of info that they share, they estimate the salary range to be $52,000 - $72,000.

== == == Original Post Follows == == ==

Do you believe this figure for the average salary for a California Pharmacy Designated Representative?

I searched www.SimplyHired.com using this job title, Pharmacy Designated Representative in CA.

I tried to embed their graph, but alas, no success.

So here's the info, as of 6/25/2011: Average Pharmacy Designated Representative Salaries in CA is $76,000

Does this ring true for you?
