Ammattiryhmässä

Ammattiryhmässä is a form of the Finnish noun ammattiryhmä, which denotes a grouping of people who share a similar profession or professional field. The concept is used both in everyday language and in official classifications to refer to a collection of occupations that have common tasks, qualifications, or skill levels. In Finland, occupational groups are part of statistical and administrative work, and they are often aligned with international frameworks such as the ISCO classification.

Ammattiryhmät are used in labor market statistics, education planning, wage negotiations, and occupational safety management. They help summarize data on employment, unemployment, earnings, and skills needs by comparing groups rather than individual jobs. The term is commonly encountered in government reports, statistical releases, and professional discussions about workforce composition.

The form ammattirymässä is the inessive case of ammattiryhmä, meaning “in the occupational group” or “within an occupational group.” It is used to indicate location, membership, or activity inside a specific group. For example: “Hän kuuluu ammattiryhmään, jonka jäsenet työskentelevät ohjelmistokehityksen parissa.” or “Tilastot osoittavat erot ammattiryhmässä.” Other related forms include ammattiryhmän (genitive), ammattiryhmään (illative), and ammattiryhmää (partitive).

Etymology note: the term combines ammatti (profession) with ryhmä (group). While most frequently found in technical or formal contexts, ammattiryhmä and its inflected forms appear in media and policy discussions about the structure and dynamics of the workforce.
