CBS publishes no vacancy figures for this occupation, its segment or its class.
Figures from CBS (Statistics Netherlands) StatLine, published under CC BY 4.0, refreshed when CBS publishes:
The verdict compares the region's open vacancies per 100 unemployed people with the Dutch figure for the same quarter. CBS publishes vacancies per province, so a city uses its province. The estimate for a region spreads the national number of people in the occupation like the region's workforce in its occupation class. Figures CBS does not publish, because too few people were surveyed, are left out.
