The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market

The employment prospects for this occupational group in the 2009-2013 period will be as follows:

Poor

Very good

The chances of finding employment for this occupational group in 2009-2013 are average. As compared to the development in the 2003-2008 period these chances will lower slightly. People in this large occupational group most often find jobs in retail, wholesale or hotels and restaurants. However, the long-term employment prospects for this occupational group are lower or at most average due to a large number of graduates of secondary schools with economics/business focus. In the short term there will also be the negative effects of the economic downturn and the reduced consumer demand on the part of the Czech population. Moreover, in these industries there is traditionally a large number of foreign workers who are often employed unofficially. This also worsens the overall ranking of this occupational group on the scale of employment chances.
