Research conducted by ManPower Group clearly shows positive trends in the readiness to hire new employees. What else was found? Which industries are lacking specialists? You will learn everything in the article below.
The purpose and method of the study
The ManPower Group report "Employment Prospects Barometer" has been published for over 50 years. Every quarter, over 65 companies from 000 countries participate in the survey, and its aim is to verify employment in the past quarter and the tendency to increase the number of vacancies in the company in the next quarter. IN In Norway, a representative group of 751 companies is surveyed. It is one of the most reliable labor market studies around the world.

Working in Norway will be more available!
According to the survey, jobs in Norway will become even more available in the coming quarter. Norwegian employers intend to increase employment by 9%, an increase of 3% compared to the same period in 2017. Good news for employees is also the fact that as many as 15% of the surveyed entrepreneurs intend to increase their employment, 80% do not intend to employ new forces, and only 5% intend to reduce the number of vacancies.
Medium-sized enterprises want to employ the most
As shown by the results of the "Employment Prospects Barometer", medium-sized companies have the greatest appetite for new employees. In total, they intend to increase the employment level by 18%. In the micro-enterprise sector, this indicator was 7%, which is also a good result.
There are not enough hands to work
ManPower Group also conducts periodic research, which results in the "Talent Shortage" report. It turns out that Norwegian companies have the least problems with finding new employees. Such difficulties were indicated by 25% of employers, with the global average being 45%. It is most difficult to find employees for companies located in countries such as Japan (89%), Romania (81%), Taiwan (78%) and Hong Kong (76%). Poland was classified in a group with an above-average talent shortage rate - 51% of employers struggle with recruitment problems.
In which industries there is a labor shortage?
The "Talent Shortage" report published by ManPower Group indicates global trends. The results for the world are practically identical to those resulting from the Norwegian NAV report, about which we informed you in the article from May 7. It turns out that Norwegian companies are struggling with the lack of hands to work in such positions as:
- skilled craftsmen (carpenter, carpenter, electricians, mechanics),
- IT specialists and programmers,
- healthcare professionals,
- office (administration assistants, receptionists),
- industrial workers (machine operators),
- professional drivers (trucks, suppliers, construction, public transport),
- technicians (quality controllers, technical experts),
- accounting and finance (certified accountants, auditors, financial analysts),
- engineers (chemistry, electronics, mechanics, civil engineering).
Interesting conclusions
Analyzing the research published by ManPower Group, interesting conclusions about working in Norway can be drawn. It turns out that Norwegian employers do not have such a big problem with recruiting new hands to work as in other countries. The result of, among others, Romania or even Poland. The explanation can be found in the relatively lower wages in these countries, which results in widespread economic emigration to countries that offer much higher wages. The same factor makes Norwegian companies less difficult to recruit. Nevertheless, the above reports can be treated as a suggestion addressed to people who are considering going abroad for work purposes. The fastest way to find a job is if you specialize in one of the industries mentioned above. Which does not mean that you will not find a job, e.g. as a farm worker. But this is a decision that we leave for your consideration!
