Look at the ninth most in-demand job. Not surprising that shortages exist in jobs that require above average smarts and significant training.
Apologies for the duplicate.
I'm surprised surveyors made that list. Do you see a shortage of teachers in your profession?
Yes, but needs change. Ten to fifteen years ago, we had a surplus of primary and elementary teachers. Today, there's a big shortage in our county. STEM subjects seem to be well-staffed, whereas just a few years ago, there was a big shortage.
North Carolina instituted significant pay raises for entry-level teachers a couple of years ago, followed by nice increases for teachers with ten years or less experience. Coupled with a significant effort to hire Teach for America folks, staffing is better. Of course, older teachers are upset, but that's pretty much normal.
On the other hand, when I retired, my replacement was a lady in her early fifties, a recent victim of an IBM staff reduction, who had no teaching experience. So, two years ago, young math degree people were hard to find.
"9. SURVEYORS
The UK, Belgium, Norway, Canada and Australia are also in need of surveyors. But theyÛªre not the only ones. ThereÛªs also a shortage in the US and New Zealand. There is no particular reason for the shortage of surveyors, other than there being a lack of skilled workers in the construction industry more generally."
I just added another crew and fortunately didn't have any trouble finding qualified peeople. We pay higher than the majority of small outfits, maybe that has something to do with it. Along with the higher pay comes much more stringent attendance and performance requirements. 😎
If I made such a list based on the job listings in my neck of the woods, Cam Girls and Truck Drivers would be tied for number 1.
