Vacancies exist despite employment decline-EGFSN report

摘要

The rate of deterioration in the labour market during 2010 was slower than in 2009, according to the 2011 update of the National Skills Bulletin, the annual review of employment trends in Ireland, published by the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN). Despite the decline in employment and diminished job opportunities in most segments of the Irish labour market, vacancies, and in several areas, skill shortages, continue to exist. The Skills Bulletin highlights that vacancies are found in occupations associated with skilled and experienced people in sectors such as engineering, ICT, healthcare, finance and customer care (including technical support).
