Transport & Logistics Occupations
The five-year annual average employment growth rate for transport and logistics occupations was below average; numbers employed in 2022 returned to pre-COVID-19 levels, driven by an increase in the numbers employed as truck and van drivers. The skills mix within these occupations continues to evolve; Brexit has been a driving force to this change, along with the green agenda and automation. Future demand for these roles will continue to be impacted by these transitions, along with fluctuating fuel costs and supply chain challenges.
