Future Shortages
With regard to future workforce gaps, about half of Employers believed that the supply of qualified HR
candidates would be sufficient to fill expected job openings over the next five to 10 years, and one‐third
were not able to offer an opinion (Figure 13). However, several employers believed that supply would
not be able to meet demand, and another few believed that a future shortage was possible. The
majority of those predicting future shortages believed that the undersupply would worsen (Figure 14),
and that needs would be greatest for Labour Relations Representatives, Health & Safety Specialists, and
HR Generalists (Table 14).
