Shortage Indicators
The transitory nature of employment in elementary occupations (e.g. cleaners, security guards, routine testers, elementary construction workers, agricultural labourers etc.) is apparent through the analysis of the many labour market indicators examined such as transitions, vacancies and job seeker data. There is a higher than average share of nonIrish nationals employed in elementary occupations, particularly in cleaning. There is also a high share of part-time work and the education profile of those employed in these occupations is lower than the overall average. Although there is currently no evidence of shortage of labourers in Ireland, attracting and retaining elementary workers will become increasingly challenging as job opportunities increase across all sectors of the economy. This appears to be the case for those employed in the agricultural sector such as mushroom/fruit pickers. There has also been an increased demand for construction labourers.
