The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market
The chances of finding employment for this occupational group in 2009-2013 are above average. As compared to the previous period (2003-2008) the employment prospects will worsen. On the one hand there are the effects of the economic downturn that are unfavourable for these occupations (the development of demand for occupations in financial services, insurance and also wholesale may be negative for several years). On the other hand the education sector will supply the labour market with a large number of graduates who will be suitable to perform jobs within this group of occupations. Competition among job seekers will further stiffen.
