Electronic and electrical engineering
More than 5 thousand people, or 0.6% of employed in the economy, are working in E&E.
Since 2010, the number of employed in E&E has increased by 1.5 times – by more than 1,700 employees (almost 2/3 of them were employed in the manufacture of wiring and wiring devices and the manufacture of electronic components and boards).
The registered unemployment rate in E&E occupations is almost half the national average. Insufficiency of labour force can be observed among the electrical engineers, electrical engineering technicians, and electronics mechanics and servicers.
By 2035 the number of workplaces in E&E could increase by 1.9 thousand. The largest growth in the number of workplaces in E&E is expected in the manufacture of electronic components and boards, the manufacture of wiring and wiring devices, and the manufacture of communication equipment. Almost half of the total growth in the number of workplaces in E&E could occur in specialized E&E occupations.
In the medium-term, labour force shortages will remain among electrical engineers, electronics engineering technicians, and electronics mechanics and servicers.
