The Role of Public Employment Service
Office in the Philippine Context
The BLES 2008 Occupational Shortages and Surpluses Survey provided
statistical figures that substantiate the initial findings in the PROJECT JOBSFIT.
Broadly, the survey defined hard‐to‐fill occupations as job vacancies for which an
establishment has encountered difficulties in managing the recruitment process.
Reasons may include no applicants, applicant’s lack of experience, skill or
license, preference for working abroad, seeking higher salary or problem with
location and other reasons.
The in‐demand occupations refer to active occupations/job vacancies
posted/ advertised recurrently by and across industries/ establishments. Citing
examples from the survey are vacancies for Accountants and Auditors (1600
vacancies, 60 applicants/10 vacancies), Call Center Agents (20,000 vacancies, 30
applicants/10 vacancies) Mechanical Engineering Technicians (1500 vacancies,
20 applicants/10 vacancies), Sales Marketing Managers (600 vacancies, 70
applicants/10 vacancies) and Aircraft Pilots, Navigators and Flight Engineers (300
vacancies, 18 applicants/10 vacancies).
