The construction sector (32 trades) is once again the most represented, just in front of that of industry (31). With 22 professions, the health and social action sector completes the podium. These three sectors alone represent 58 % of the professions on the list, the Forem said in a press release.
During the first five months of the year, the latter published on his site 161,979 employment opportunities. More than a third of these offers – 60,595 (37 %) – concerned a profession in recruitment tension. As for the trades in shortage in the strict sense, they alone represent 24 % of all the offers published between January and May, added the regional office.
