The employment website InfoJobs published last year 3,063,679 job offers, 17% more than the previous year, which registered 117 million registrations - 2% more.

As a result of this greater growth in supply than in demand, there has been a decrease in the level of competition per job offered, which goes from an average of 44 candidates registered per offer in 2017 to 38 in 2018, 13.6% less, the lowest figure since 2008, the year of the beginning of the crisis, when the competition for job vacancy was 28 candidates.

Informática y Telecomunicaciones led, for another year, the ranking of the least competitive sectors, with only 10 professionals registered for job offerings in InfoJobs, followed by Education and training, with 21 enrolled by offer, and by Commercial and sales and Design and arts graphs, that share the third position of the classification with 23 registered by offer.

Finance and banking (with 27 people per offer), professions, arts and crafts (31) and customer service (32) were then placed in the ranking with an average of entries per vacancy lower than the average of InfoJobs (38).

At the other end of the ranking, the most saturated sectors in terms of competition did not change with respect to other years: Retail (168 enrolled), Legal (102) and Business Administration (90).
