Monitoring the job market

As part of the Europe 2020 initiative "An Agenda for New Skills and Jobs'', in 2010 the Commission launched the project “Monitoring labour market developments in Europe”.

The idea is to gather up-to-date information on job vacancies, which will also serve as an early-warning tool for bottlenecks and mismatches on the labour market.

The information is made available through two quarterly bulletins and a biennial report.

European Vacancy and Recruitment Report (EVRR)

Analysis of labour market developments since 2007 focusing on contractual arrangements, sector and occupation demand, growing occupations, difficult-to-fill vacancies (bottleneck occupations) and skills requirements. An analysis of the market shares of recruitment agencies is also included.
