Industry layoffs, what are people doing?, pharmacy technician here

Our sector has been shrinking and I am unsure if I should wait it out. Any experience at all would help. The postings I see are fewer and ask for more. Who has switched fields?

I moved into operations work. The skills carried over and there were more openings than in my old field.

Look at job postings to see which skills repeat, then fill the gap. That gave me a direction.
