The 2023 Skills Priority List shows 36% of occupations were in national shortage (332 out of 916), about 5 percentage points higher than 2022 (31% of occupations). The rise in shortages in 2023 from 2022 reflects the cumulative impacts of recruitment challenges stemming from a persistently tight labour market which began tightening from late 2021.
