The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market
The employment prospects for this occupational group in 2009-2013 are slightly above the average and essentially remain unchanged over the long term. The overall situation as regards chances of finding jobs for this group is the result of contradicting developments - on the one hand it is the development in the sectors that offer most employment opportunities - the industry and transport (workers in warehouses and logistics), and on the other hand it is the development in other market services. In industry and transport demand for these occupations will decrease due to the slump in manufacturing and a gradual outflow of manufacturers to markets with cheaper labour. In other market services, which also include private services related to security, employment is expected to grow over the long term. Moreover, the number of available graduates who will replace workers leaving this labour market will slightly decrease.
