The results of a specialized study showed that the demands on the administrative and financial jobs and professions ranked first in the jobs’ ladder, which were stated in the Jordanian media during 2018, with 31.9% of the total of job advertisements, followed by the technical and manual jobs and by 20.2%, then the educational professions by 13.1% %.
In fact, this study was prepared by the Phoenix Center for Economic and Informatics Studies in cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Germany, and it was entitled " The Employment Trends in Jordan in 2018". Moreover, it was based on the analysis of the vast majority of jobs announced in the Jordanian daily newspapers in 2018 (Al Ra'I, Al-Ghad and Ad-Dustour), which reached (5283) jobs. This study aims at identifying the nature of the required jobs by the Jordanian labour market, announced in the daily newspapers, in terms of the type of the required professions and the quality of the required disciplines, along with the needed skills , in addition to the allocation of these jobs for both men and women, as well as the required practical experience to fill positions.

The percentage of job advertisements that did not specify a specific level of education was 59.1%, followed by 22% of the advertisements that required a bachelor degree, and 6.1% for the jobs which require a Community College Diploma (as an average).

In fact, the percentage of jobs that did not specify a peculiar specialization was 64.4%, while the percentage of jobs that required engineering specialties was 8.4%. The percentage of jobs requiring specialization in administrative and financial sciences was 7.5%, while the percentage of jobs requiring specialization in the field of health and medical sciences was 6.4%, and the jobs that required specializations in the field of human sciences were 5.3%.
