20 Most-in-Demand Jobs in Albania

TIRANA, August 20

A recent survey conducted by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Albanian Institute of Statistics (INSTAT) helps to identify the country’s most dynamic employment landscapes. Currently, the most in-demand jobs are call center operators, tailors, and other specialists in the apparel and footwear industry, waiters and counter jobs, mining and construction specialists, drivers, sanitation workers, etc. These are just a few among the topmost in-demand jobs in the Albanian market. On the other hand, there is a low demand for highly-qualified professionals. The survey conducted in over 2,600 businesses in all the county’s regions shed light on the market’s need in the middle term.
The list of in-demand skills also reflects the economic model in Albania. The latter focuses on the exploitation of natural resources and low-cost sectors like manufacturing and retail. In the meantime, highly qualified professionals find a limited number of opportunities.
The high demand for workers seems to have an impact on the education system by discouraging further advances in the science and tech sectors. While the market requires more and more workers with no specific qualifications and skills, almost 60 percent of students in Albanian universities choose career paths such as justice, economics, arts, and social sciences.
