Labour Market Information - Occupations

The following list of occupations have been identified as being of concern for the health of our Labour Market. The comments shown are explained here:

Current Shortage There is a current shortage of either workers or appropriatly skilled workers.
No Shortage From the occupations for which data is available, no shortage exists.
Possible Future Shortage There is clear evidence that the expected demand for this occupation will not be filled by the current workforce, or those entering it from our education system, and that these shortages will persist.

Data source - National Skills Bullitin 2011 - EGFSN
  Where there is a shortage, it may be either a Skills shortage or a Labour shortage.

A Skills shortage may arise for a number of different reasons. For example, the working conditions may be such that relatively few people with the relevant skills are attracted to the occupation in question. The shortage may also reflect a temporary or a sustained increase in the demand for a particular expertise, or a reduction in the number of students who are acquiring the relevant qualifications.

A Labour shortage refers to occupations where there is an insufficient number of individuals willing to take up available employment opportunities.
