Future Shortages<br />
Looking ahead to potential labour market shortages for employees in marketing occupations, many<br />
Employers believed that the supply <strong>of</strong> qualified candidates would be sufficient to fill expected job<br />
openings over the next five to 10 years, and one‐third <strong>of</strong> employers were not able to <strong>of</strong>fer an opinion<br />
(Figure 9). About a fifth <strong>of</strong> Employers believed that supply would not be able to meet demand, and a few<br />
believed that shortages were possible. The majority <strong>of</strong> these Employers predicted that little progress<br />
would be made to address the labour market gaps (Figure 10), and felt that the most significant needs<br />
would be in web‐related specializations such as <strong>Digital</strong> <strong>Marketing</strong>, Web <strong>Marketing</strong>, SE <strong>Marketing</strong><br />
Specialist, <strong>Digital</strong> Technology Optimization, and Social Media (Table 9).<br />
