How much the occupation is in demand

The government assesses each year how hard each occupation is to fill. The measure is the share of vacancies employers manage to fill; below 67% an occupation counts as being in shortage.

The list changes yearly and differs between states, so it is worth checking at the source rather than in someone's summary.

This is labour-market data, not visa information. A shortage does not mean easier visa outcomes and does not guarantee employment — a specific employer makes that decision.
