Introduction. The transformation of social, economic and social relations in the current context of globalization has led to a structural crisis in the labor market. The formation of the knowledge economy, the benefits of information technology, the rapid development of the service sector, changes in working conditions and content, strong competition require review, update and adapt the system of regulation and development of the labor market, with the needs of skilled labor. Unfortunately, the state policy in this direction does not provide an integrated approach to forecasting supply and demand for skilled labor in today's conditions. The purpose of the paper is to conduct a statistical analysis of the state and development of the labor market of Ukraine in the context of professional and qualification trends and identify promising areas of employment. Results. The state and problematic issues of the labor market development of Ukraine are determined based on statistical research in the context of professional and qualification trends. The main reasons that led to the increase in free labor are considered. The state of the labor force, demand in the labor market and changes in employment dynamics by sectors of the economy are analyzed. On the basis of the conducted analysis the forecast of the level of employment of the population of Ukraine, demand in the labor market on priority professional and qualified groups for the next 5 years is carried out. Promising sectors of the economy have been identified where growth is expected and employment may decline. Conclusion. It is proposed to carry out statistical analysis and identify the main trends in the labor market in the formation of government procurement by the state, as well as in the formation of preferences in the choice of professions by the population for 5 to 7 years, which will partially solve employment and unemployment.
