Administrative and Secretarial
Administrative & Secretarial Occupations
Despite a growth rate on a par with the national average, overall employment levels over the five-year period in this occupational group have seen little change since 2021. Automation and the digitalisation of tasks are likely to impact on employment growth in the coming years; however, given the higher than average share aged 55 years and over, it is unlikely to offset the considerable replacement demand that will arise due to retirements. With almost half of those employed holding third level qualifications, skills mismatches may also be a feature for these roles.
