The article analyzes the dynamics of the labor market regarding the number of current vacancies for positions of teachers in educational institutions (vocational (vocational-technical), professional pre-higher education, higher education, training centers). The dynamics of both current vacancies for positions of teachers in educational institutions and potential positions that are not yet vacant, but may become so, were analyzed. To do this, the number of vacant positions of teachers in the specified educational institutions was analyzed according to the Unified Register of Vacancies of the State Employment Service, as well as the number of their potential positions according to the data of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. It was found that the total number of current vacancies for teachers in the specified educational institutions is over 1,000, and the potential ones are much more (over 140,000). The number of vacancies, the level of average wages, the most popular positions and the list of requirements that are currently imposed on teachers in educational institutions compared to 2022 were analyzed. It has been found that the modern labor market needs specialists in teaching professions, but employers mostly give preference to teachers who are ready to work in institutions of professional (vocational and technical) and specialized pre-higher education, as well as in private training centers.

Key words: labor market, teachers of educational institutions, vacancies, employment, salary, requirements for a specialist.
