Job vacancies
The Job Vacancy Survey started in the first quarter
of 2009. In the year 2011, 73 800 vacancies were reported. There was
a great demand in service and sales workers (30% of all vacancies),
also in technicians and associate professionals (18%) and craft and
related trade workers (16%). 8% of all vacancies were for elementary
occupations. For 38% of all vacancies, only compulsory education was
required, 21% of all vacancies required secondary school leaving certificate
or a higher degree. For 54% of all vacancies, the expected gross income
was below 1 700 Euro and for 28% between 1 700 and 2 400 Euro. 15% of all
vacancies are vacancies for part time jobs, 4% are vacancies for minor
jobs. Nearly one out of ten vacancies were vacancies for seasonal worker.
In preparation for this survey there has been a pilot
project which was conducted from 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2005.
Data on job vacancies in Austria are also available
for vacancies notified to the Public Employment Service (AMS).
