In Serbia, there is a serious labor deficit in the craft and low-skilled sectors. The positions of storekeepers, drivers, administrative workers, production workers, waiters, salespeople, hygienists and telephone operators stand out among the most sought-after occupations. Plumbers receive the highest salary
In seven months of this year, 43.471 advertisements were published for job, which is almost identical to the number from the same period in 2023, according to the published data of the website Poslovi Infostud, reports Fonet.
The most sought after areas employment trade and sales, mechanical engineering, IT, administration and hospitality are still there, which reflects the constant demand for workers in these sectors, the statement said.
Among the most sought-after occupations in the seven months of 2024, the positions of storekeepers, drivers, administrative workers, production workers, waiters, salespeople, hygienists and telephone operators stand out.
Drivers earned an average of 102.000 dinars per month, telephone operators 103.000 dinars, while commercial workers, with earnings of 118.000 dinars, had the highest average salaries among the most sought-after occupations.
Employers offered administrative workers an average of 85.000 dinars, production workers 76.000 dinars, while waiters were offered an average of 66.000 dinars. Warehouse workers earned 80.000 dinars per month, and hygienists 63.000 dinars per month.
However, the labor market faces a serious labor shortage in the craft and low-skilled sectors, where demand far outstrips supply.

According to Infostud data, plumbers, with a salary of 125.000 dinars per month, lead the list of deficit occupations in terms of average salary, followed by car mechanics with a salary of 115.000 dinars, while hairdressers earn an average of 93.000 dinars.
