Administrative and Secretarial
Administrative & Secretarial Occupations
Employment growth was almost on a par with the national average for this occupational group, with an increase of 7,800 persons since 2023. Over half of those employed held third level qualifications; this is likely due to a combination of both more advanced skillsets required due to a reduction in more routine tasks due to digitalisation, along with some level of skills mismatches occurring. This is a large group in terms of employment, and with a higher than average share aged 55 years or older, job opportunities are likely to continue to arise even if the number of new jobs created declines.
