Swiss Skills Shortage Index 2024
Swiss Skills Shortage Index 2024: despite significant easing, the skills shortage remains severe and is still worse than before the pandemic
The current economic downturn is reducing the skills shortage: 2024 saw a drop of 18 percent, following a 24-percent increase in the Skills Shortage Index during the previous year. This downward trend relates to most professional groups, especially IT. Nevertheless, demand for skilled workers is still higher than before the pandemic. This is highlighted by the Swiss Skills Shortage Index published by the Adecco Group Switzerland and the Swiss Job Market Monitor project undertaken by the University of Zurich.
