Skilled manual tradespersons and engineers have topped an annual talent shortage survey as a surging global resources boom soaks up all available skilled labour.
The survey, which is conducted by employment services group Manpower Inc, found that skilled tradespersons, including electricians and boiler makers, and engineers are the top two positions that employers in Australia are having difficulty filling.
"The increasing demand is a reflection of the continuing skills shortage, which is now seeing growing pent-up demand as many positions remained unfilled," Manpower Australia and New Zealand managing director Scott McLachlan said.
The survey noted 61 per cent of employers in Australia are struggling to find qualified personnel.
