Did you ever wonder what the top ten hardest jobs to fill are in the US?
1. Sales representative
2. Teacher
3. Mechanic
4. Technician
5. Management/executive
6. Truck driver
7. Driver/delivery
8. Accountant
9. Laborer
10. Machine operator
Sales representative certainly doesn't surprise me as the number one hardest to fill position. Companies will always need salespeople, and there is a certain social stigma attached to being a salesperson.
The teacher shortage is not surprising as well, and I expect this to only get worse. Teachers are underpaid, and I expect that the pool of available teachers will only shrink as prospective teachers decide to make more money in other sectors.
Truck driver is a bit of a surprising entry on the list, but when you consider the amount of goods that need to be transported on a daily basis, and the fact that if you are a long haul driving you need to be away from your family for months at a time, it is not very surprising.
Delivery driver will only get worse as well, as more and more mail is sent by courier instead of regular mail. This, along with a salesperson, will ALWAYS be in the top 10.
And accountant? Not a real surprise there either. With Sarbanes-Oxley and all of the corporate scandals over the past five years, accountants are up to their ears in work.
