Pracuj.pl: more than a third of job offers require digital skills

More than a third of job offers (36%) posted on the Pracuj.pl portal in the first half of the year was for specialists with digital competencies. "Digitization clearly reflects on the attitudes of employers. This creates opportunities for candidates who build related skills, but also difficulties for people who are not digitally proficient," the portal said in a statement.

As many as 24% of job offers were for IT specialists: software development experts (16%) and IT administration (8%). Other areas with digital skills included marketing and e-commerce - they accounted for 4%, and another 4% were for experts in research and development and advertising.

According to the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI), created by Eurostat, 56% of the European Union citizens have basic digital skills. In Poland, only 43% of people aged 16-74 have basic digital skills, which was the third lowest result in the European Union.
