The lack of people applying for jobs in food and drink-making has been called "scary" by an industry boss.
The latest figures show unemployment among 16 to 24-year-olds remains high, falling by just 1,000 to 958,000.
Angela Coleshill, from umbrella body the Food and Drink Federation (FDF), says: "30% of our workforce are going to retire in the next 10 years. It's actually quite scary."
