Shortage occupation lists
These regular reports from the Migration Advisory Committee examine the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) and make recommendations to the government.
The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) was set up in 2007 as an independent non-departmental public body to provide evidence-based advice to the government. For example, on where shortages of skilled labour can sensibly be filled by immigration from outside the European Economic Area.
