A report focusing on the rarest skills and jobs in South Africa has been released by\u00a0Adzuna<\/a>. The online aggregator based the findings\u00a0on over 140,000 job listings and 1,250,000 job seeker searches, and calculates the \u2018rareness factor\u2019 based on the number of job adverts asking for certain skills vs the number of job searchers who claim to have those skills.<\/p>\n

While technology (programmers, IT, etc) and financial skills topped the rankings, there was a drop in how rare engineering skills are.\u00a0\u201cEither engineers are more abundant, which is doubtful, or for some reason less engineering skills are being advertised for,\u201d said Jesse Green, country manager for Adzuna South Africa. Despite the drop, salaries in this sector have remained very stable as \u201cCivil engineers, in particular, have come in at over R628,000 on average, quite unchanged since September 2017 with only a 3% increase since then, mostly matching inflation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Conversely, while a substantial number of registered nurses have left the country over the past decade, making it a skillset which has become quite ‘rare’, salaries have not improved, only going up by 4% since September 2017.<\/p>\n

Here is the list of jobs and their salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
