How do I find which professions are in demand where I want to work?
Short answer
Check official EU sources for the country: EURES lists shortage occupations and CEDEFOP tracks demand from online vacancies, so you can see which professions that country is actively short of.
Rather than trusting a headline about "the jobs of the future", look at the country you care about in official data. EURES publishes per-country shortage and surplus occupations, and CEDEFOP's demand-for-occupations tool draws on real online vacancies. Reading both gives you a grounded picture of which professions a specific country needs.
Use that picture alongside your own profile on LabourMarket.ai: it shows opportunities that fit your skills, while the official data tells you how strong demand is for your profession in a given place. Demand shifts, so note when the data was published.
Practical steps
- Pick the country or countries you are considering.
- Read the EURES shortage list and CEDEFOP demand data for them.
- Compare that demand with your own profession and skills.
Good to know
Demand data reflects a period in time and does not guarantee a job in any single company. Always check the source date.
