How tight is the Kitchen Shift Manager job market?

At the end of September 2026, the occupation group cooks had 7.5 unemployed jobseekers per open job, counting JobCrawls ads as well as the employment service register. The register alone gives 9.6: 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).
