The future situation of the occupational group on the labour market
The chances of finding employment for this occupational group in 2009-2013 are poor. As compared to the current situation the chances will lower significantly. The main factor affecting this forecast is the rapid increase in the number of higher education and tertiary professional education graduates in business, law and other similar fields. Individuals with these qualifications currently account for 50% of employees in this occupational group. The difference between the high number of graduates and the lower number of suitable job vacancies is already large and it will further increase. Tertiary education graduates in mathematics, statistics and technology will be in a better position - the number of these graduates is increasing more slowly and demand for employees with these qualifications may grow more quickly in this occupational group.
