Given the layoffs and unemployment woes that consistently make headlines, it may seem hard to believe that some industries are experiencing worker shortages. Yet despite a national unemployment rate that hovers near double digits, there are industries that are in need of well-trained, qualified employees.

According to CareerBuilder's 2010 Mid-Year Job Forecast:






  • Twenty-two percent of employers reported that despite an abundant labor pool, they still have positions for which they can't find qualified candidates.

  • Forty-eight percent of human resources managers reported that there was an area of their organization in which they lacked qualified workers.

  • Health-care employers were the most likely to report a skills deficit; 63 percent of HR professionals in large health-care organizations said they have a shortage of qualified workers.
