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).
