The West Midlands is to undergo a number of demographic changes over the next ten years, according to one expert, which will see a boost in the number of managers needed in the region.
It is thought by David Cragg, the regional director of the Learning and Skills Council for the West Midlands, that the area will see 47,700 new jobs over the next ten years, with 82,000 positions in management, technical and professional sectors being created. Meanwhile, routine and unskilled jobs are likely to drop.
Chair of directors for the West Midlands region of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) Philip Delaloye responded, noting the situation will be challenging.
"These figures highlight the reality of the situation we are facing with a distinct imbalance between the jobs which will become available and the current pool of potential candidates," he said.
Yesterday, the REC revealed in its latest report with KPMG that the current skills shortage is pushing up staff salaries.
