You searched for occupation: physics technician
The occupation searched for is part of the occupational group: Technicians in engineering and transportation. Information about the future concerns the entire group.
The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market
The chances of finding employment for this occupational group in 2009-2013 are slightly above average. As compared to the development in the 2003-2008 period these chances will remain about the same. This will be influenced by several factors. There are two opposite trends within this occupational group. On the one hand there will be a significant decline in employment in the largest industries in terms of the number of jobs (construction, manufacture of basic metal, mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and partly also transport). This, on the other hand, will be offset by a decline in the number of graduates of the relevant study programmes (secondary programmes focusing on mechanical engineering, construction, electrical engineering and science). People with these qualifications should still find employment relatively easily.
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 4 % 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 %. As some workers will leave their jobs (e.g. retirement), another 13 % of new jobs will be available within this group. Overall, 17 % of current employment will have to be filled by 2013, i.e. 41300 new workers will have to be hired.
The current situation of the occupational group at the labour market:
The occupational group consists of the following subgroups:
- ISCO 311 - Physical and engineering science technicians
- ISCO 316 - Rail operations technicians
- ISCO 314 - Ship and aircraft controllers and technicians
Physical and engineering science technicians (ISCO 311)

Occupations in this subgroup are most frequently found in the following industries:
- Construction (21 %)
- Manufacture of metal structures and fabricated metal products (8 %)
- Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c. (7 %)
- Manufacture of motor vehicles (6 %)
- Manufacture of electrical machinery and manufacture of medical, precision and optical instruments (6 %)
In 2008 the median age of employees in this subgroup was 41 years, in the economy as a whole it was 41 years.
The age structure of employees in this occupational subgroup:
Employees in this occupational subgroup most frequently have the following qualification:
- Secondary (3a) - mechanical engineering (22 %)
- Secondary (3a) - building and life science (17 %)
- Secondary (3a) - electricity and electronics (15 %)
It is expected that by 2013 the following number of graduates with qualifications suitable for this occupational subgroup will enter the labour market:
| Education | Number of graduates entering labour market by 2013 | Development of graduate numbers in 2009-2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary (3a) - mechanical engineering | 14 320 | slight decrease |
| Secondary (3a) - building and life science | 8 300 | rapid decrease |
| Secondary (3a) - electricity and electronics | 19 900 | slight decrease |
The development of the number of graduates is ranked using a five-degree scale: rapid decrease - slight decrease - stagnation - slight increase - rapid increase.
