Using administrative records from Public Employment Offices, this paper studies the main factors
determining occupational matching between labour supply and demand. This is measured by matching
the demanded occupation by job seekers and the occupation they finally secure. The results show that
occupational matching is greater among women, young workers and least-educated people. Higher
rates of occupational matching are also found in medium-sized companies and among temporary
workers. The results also show that certain occupations are strongly associated with a high degree of
professional versatility, or instead that their corresponding tasks may be adequately performed by
professionals from distinct backgrounds
