Even with the high unemployment rate, many employers are struggling to find new blood, particularly in certain positions. Has Finance been struggling to fill key positions?
Here are the top 10 hardest jobs to fill for U.S. businesses:
- Skilled trades

- Sales representatives
- Accounting & Finance Staff

This list is based on the seventh-annual Talent Shortage Survey, by the ManpowerGroup. The survey gathered responses from more than 1,300 U.S. employers.
