The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market
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 remain about the same. As compared to other administrative occupations the future employment prospects are better in this case. New jobs will continue to be created particularly thanks to the expansion of retail chains, and a large number of vacancies will emerge due to retirements. This is a favourable forecast for both employees and graduates. On the other hand, the jobs of cash till operators in particular are threatened by competition from foreign workers, and, over the long term, Czechs have been loosing interest in taking up these jobs due to low pay.
