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 current situation these prospects will worsen as a result of a number of contradicting trends. The chances of finding employment are higher than average for some occupations in this group (particularly IT experts, constructers, mechanical and electrical engineers). These prospects will be further improved by the expected development in some industries, particularly in the manufacture of electronic equipment and computers, electrical machinery, IT services and communications. On the contrary, the expected stagnation or even decline in the mining of coal and mineral resources sectors will negatively affect demand for engineers. This will also partly apply to construction and the chemical industry. The largest portion of these workers find jobs in professional services where the demand for them is likely to grow more slowly as compared to the inflow of graduates from the education sector.
Development of the employment in the occupational group (in thousands):
- Total employment
- Development of employment in this occupational group
As a result of economic development 5 % of new jobs will be created for this occupational group by 2013. The number of jobs in the economy as a whole will increase by 0,2 %.
