The shortage of skilled personnel in the Vitebsk region is particularly noticeable for certain professions in industry and the service sector, as reported by Tatyana Ovchinnikova, Deputy Head of the Department of Labor, Employment and Social Protection of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee.
As of April 1 this year, the number of vacancies declared by employers was 2278, with the largest number of vacant jobs from enterprises in manufacturing industries - 552 vacancies, agriculture - 495, trade - 223, healthcare - 213, and public administration - 172.
"The labor market continues to be oriented towards blue-collar jobs, which account for 55.9%. The share of demand for specialists has increased, and overall, there is a shortage of qualified workers for certain professions. In urban areas, for example, there is an acute shortage of seamstresses, where demand is 2 times higher than supply, concrete workers - 1.7 times, demand for extruder operators - 8.7 times, and shoe assemblers - 3.4 times," noted Tatyana Ovchinnikova.
A significant shortage of skilled personnel also remains in industry: the demand for continuous filament fiber production operators is 25 times higher than the offers from job seekers, technological process operators - 21 times, and equipment fitters - 8 times. In the service and household services sector, there is still a shortage of hairdressers: the imbalance here is 6.4 times. Rural organizations experience a demand for livestock breeders, tractor drivers, milking machine operators, electricians, and electric gas welders. In recent years, the number of unemployed individuals seeking unskilled jobs has significantly increased, while vacancies for such positions have sharply decreased. Thus, the demand for general laborers exceeds the number of vacancies by 87 times, loaders - by 55 times, kitchen workers - by 50 times, janitors - by 46 times, and dishwashers - by 22 times. For specialists with secondary vocational and higher education in urban areas, medical and pedagogical professionals remain extremely scarce. In rural areas, there is a shortage of veterinarians, agronomists, and zootechnicians. On the other hand, for urban
