Occupational Barometer: Increase in labour shortages has slowed down

  • News

Autumn’s Occupational Barometer indicates that the increase in labour shortages has levelled off. While the number of shortage occupations increased year on year, a slight decrease was shown from spring 2022.

The health and social services sector is expected to have a skilled labour shortage of high magnitude in the near future. The situation is most difficult in the recruitment of practical nurses, registered nurses, senior specialists in social work, teachers in early childhood education and care, special needs teachers, speech therapists, general practitioners, home care assistants, psychologists and dentists. It has also become more difficult to find restaurant and catering workers.

Jobs in the social welfare and healthcare sector and the restaurant and catering sector open at Job Market Finland:
