MANILA, Philippines – Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said there are many job vacancies in the Philippines, but not enough qualified applicants.
The Department of Labor and Employment recently released the list of most in-demand, but hard-to-fill occupations in the Philippines.
In-demand occupations refer to job vacancies posted recurrently by establishments and industries, and have a high turnover or replacement rate.
Hard-to-fill occupations refer to job vacancies where the company is having difficulty filling because job applicants are not qualified or there is no supply of job applicants. It is also hard for employers to fill these occupations since many qualified applicants prefer to work abroad, seek higher pay or have problems with work schedule or location.
Here is the DOLE’s list of 43 cross-cutting in-demand and hard-to-fill occupations:
1. Accountant
2. Agriculturist
