Truck drivers in demand, economists not – labor ministry

Truck and tractor drivers will be the most in-demand job in 2017, according to a report released by the ministry of family, labour and social policy. As many as 95.5 percent of surveyed experts picked that profession as the most sought after, compared to 78.9 percent last year. Welders are the second most profession that will be in-demand (83.7 percent) followed by nurses (73.2 percent) and accountants (71 percent). On the other end of the spectrum are economists and teachers with 82.8 and 73.8 percent responders picking these professions respectively as having too big talent pool to meet employers demand.
