The Italian Centre for Regional Studies (Elis) has listed the top 10 jobs that are currently in short supply in the job market.
According to a survey by the Italian Regional Research Center, 75% of the jobs in the current job market usually require practical skills and operational capabilities, involving transportation, construction, machinery, electronics, mechatronics, information technology, retail, telecommunications and other industries, according to the Italian newspaper 24 Hours Sun.
Italy is currently in a period where large-scale infrastructure construction or upgrading is needed, and skilled jobs are becoming a scarce talent in the labor market. But data from Skuola, an Italian school website, shows that nearly half (49%) of secondary school students are reluctant to pursue such careers in the future.
Roberto Tomasi, CEO of ASPI, said that these jobs are not only traditional occupations, but are also closely related to new technologies.
