TYA´s labour market tendency survey 2008 | TYA english

Lack of professional truck drivers

There is a high demand on the market for professional truck drivers. Almost four out of ten road carriers predict an increased need for truck drivers over the next year, but four out of ten companies also report that they have trouble finding well-educated staff.

TYA’s labour market tendency survey 2008 is based on a questionnaire sent to 1,100 road carriers (members of the Swedish Road Transport Employers’ Association, BA) within the fields of recruitment and education for the period May 2007 to April 2008 and 12 months onwards. Relevant statistics from the Swedish Public Employment Service, Statistics Sweden, and the Swedish Road Administration have also been included in the survey.

This market tendency survey reflects the high demand for professional truck drivers, despite the slower increase in demand this year. TYA will continue its strive for more high-quality vocational training.
