LABOR
MARKET
OUTLOOK

36
Central to the objectives in the development of this report is the updating of the key and
emerging industries in 2013 and its viability to present times given the changes in the
economic and labor markets. Key Employment Generators (KEGs) refer to major industry
groups with the greatest potential to generate employment and absorb bulk of the
workforce in the years to come. While Emerging Industries (EIs) are industry groups
growing at a rate faster than the economy and exhibiting potential to grow and prosper,
thus capable of generating a large number of new and fresh employment. The succeeding
pages will discuss the KEGs and EIs identified in every region based on the results of the
stakeholder consultations.

PRIORITY
SKILLS
REQUIREMENTS
56
One of the key LMI of this report is the priority skills requirement which features
the in-demand and hard-to-fill occupations. In-demand occupations refer to
active occupations/job vacancies posted or advertised recurrently by and across
establishments/industries. On the other hand, Hard-to-fill occupations refer to job
vacancies to which the employer/company is having difficulty or taking longer
time to be filled because job applicants are not qualified and/or there is no supply
of job applicants for the particular job vacancy. The other reason associated with
the difficulties experience in the recruitment process for these types of
occupations include preference of applicants to work abroad, seeking higher pay,
or problem with work schedule/location, among other reasons. The succeeding
pages will enumerate the in-demand and hard-to-fill occupations in every region
based on the results of stakeholders’ consultation. Moreover, new jobs,
diminishing jobs, and shortage and surplus skills will also be identified.
