10 Hardest Jobs to Fill

Yesterday, Manpower released its annual “Hardest Jobs to Fill” list. The list features jobs that employers throughout the U.S. report having the most difficulty filling due to a “mismatch” between the skills employers require and the skills job applicants and candidates possess.

The list is eye-opening generally, but is particularly so this year when every other person is wondering what it takes to actually land a job now.

Sales reps, technicians, accountants/finance staff and machinists made the list for the third straight year. Sales reps fell four spaces down to #4 (#1 in 2007). Machinists/machine operators climbed from #10 in 2007 to #2 in 2008.
