The register alone gives 3.5: it only sees vacancies reported to the public employment services, and many jobs, most professional ones among them, are advertised only elsewhere.
The lower the number, the tighter the market: more openings for each jobseeker, and employers compete harder to hire. Across all occupations the figure is 9.7 (12.1 in the register alone).
