Trades Reported in Shortage.
In the European Labour Authority’s EURES report for 2024, 29 European countries reported which occupations they find hard to fill. Four of our trades are on its list of the most widespread shortage occupations.
| Trade | Countries reporting a shortage (of 29) | Share of reports classed high severity |
|---|---|---|
| Welders | 23/ 29 | 35% |
| Cooks | 22/ 29 | 18% |
| Plumbers & Pipe Fitters | 21/ 29 | 29% |
| Carpenters & Joiners | 16/ 29 | 25% |
A shortage in a country does not mean a job for every graduate. Demand differs by country, region and employer, and work authorisation depends on each country’s rules. The other trades have no comparable Europe-wide figure, so none is shown.
