Yrkesbarometer: Dataset for Producing Occupational Forecasts

The Swedish Public Employment Service has made up its method for producing occupational forecasts. This new approach provides data concerning current assessments of job opportunities and the recruitment landscape across different occupations, both at the county and national levels. It includes a current assessment and a five-year forecast of labour demand for each occupation.

The occupations are primarily based on Statistics Sweden (SCB), using the Swedish Standard Classification of Occupations (SSYK 2012) at the four-digit level. However, one occupation may correspond to part of or a combination of SSYK occupational groups at the four-digit level.

The dataset is valuable for companies, organisations, and stakeholders that provide vocational, educational, and career guidance services. It helps them support their target groups in making informed decisions about career and academic paths as well as gaining in-depth insights into the labour market trends.
