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. People in this occupational group mostly find employment in agriculture and the manufacture of wood products - i.e. industries where the future employment prospects are poorer and total employment is expected to decrease further. However, the chances of finding employment are positively affected, above all, by the average age within this occupation group, which is by far higher than the average for the economy as a whole (in some occupations it is nearly 50 years). A significant number of employees will retire by 2013, and due to a decrease in the number of graduates with suitable qualifications there will not be enough resources to replace them. In no way can all jobs vacated in this way be abolished.
