Understanding the Occupational Shortage Index (OSI)
The Occupational Shortage Index (OSI) is a tool used to identify occupations that are facing a shortage of skilled workers.

The OSI provides a comprehensive overview of the labour market, highlighting occupations that are in high demand but struggling to attract sufficient talent.
