The <strong>list of shortage occupations<\/strong> is an important labour market policy tool for the targeted recruitment of qualified workers from abroad. It enables companies to recruit skilled workers from third countries (non-EU countries) more quickly and easily \u2013 in particular via the <strong>Red-White-Red Card<\/strong>.  <\/p><p><strong>What is the list of shortage occupations?<\/strong><\/p><p>The list of shortage occupations is compiled annually by the <strong>Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy (BMAW)<\/strong> on the basis of labour market data from the <strong>Public Employment Service (AMS)<\/strong>. It contains those occupations in which there is a proven, structural shortage of skilled workers throughout Austria or in individual federal states. <\/p><p>The aim is to make it easier for qualified persons from third countries to access the Austrian labour market \u2013 provided that their <strong>qualifications match a listed shortage occupation<\/strong>.<\/p><p><strong>Advantages for companies<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><strong>Faster filling of vacancies<\/strong> in areas with particularly high demand<\/li><li><strong>Legal certainty and clear requirements<\/strong> for the employment of third-country nationals<\/li><li><strong>Expanded recruitment opportunities<\/strong> through targeted immigration of skilled workers<\/li><li><strong>Planning security<\/strong>, as the list is updated and published annually<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Criteria for including an occupation in the list of shortage occupations<\/strong><\/p><p>An occupation is included on the basis of legally defined criteria in accordance with Section 12b of the Foreign Nationals Employment Act (AuslBG):<\/p><ol><li><strong>Labour market indicator<\/strong><br>A profession is considered to be in short supply if there are <strong>at least 1.5 vacancies per registered job seeker<\/strong> on average over the course of a year.
