Cedefop-Skillsnet team exercise

This piece reflects on the difficulties encountered in comparing various skills surveys, such as the IAB Establishment Panel and the National Employers Skills Survey. It highlights challenges like agreeing on question selection and the issue of comparability over time. Even similar surveys can yield inconsistent results, pointing to gaps in applicant skills for hard-to-fill vacancies. The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing the value in both negative and positive experiences when assessing skills and vacancies in the labor market.
