The document is the second annual skills bulletin from the Expert Group on Future Skills Needs (EGFSN). Its main focus is a two-fold analysis of employment at occupational level: each occupation is first examined in terms of its employment profile, including details on employment levels and growth rates; and secondly, the extent to which shortages appear to exist for each occupation are commented on by examining the available indicators on the supply and demand of skills. Key findings include: while, overall employment in Ireland grew from 1.7 million to 1.95 million between 2000 and 2005, these additional jobs were not evenly distributed in terms of economic sectors or broad occupational groups; economic sectors which grew faster than average included construction, services and healthcare; a key trend identified is the rise in the number of non-Irish nationals in employment; the education and training system is a key source of skills in Ireland; and areas in which skill shortages were identified included construction, financial, engineering, information technology, science, healthcare, transport and logistics, and manufacturing. The contents are: Executive summary; General labour market trends; Industry employment trends; Employment by broad occupations; Education and training; Work permits and visas/authorisations; In focus - vacancies; Occupational employment profiles.
