Job outlook over the next 3 years

Moderate

The employment outlook will be moderate for Retail and wholesale trade managers (NOC 60020) in the Lanaudière region for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

  • Employment is expected to remain relatively stable.
  • Several positions will become available due to retirements.

The evolution of this occupation is associated with economic conditions, buying habits and household consumption, and, more generally, population growth, which affect retail and wholesale trade.

The loss of purchasing power caused by the rising cost of living is resulting in reduced consumer spending for a large number of households. However, the ongoing stabilization in inflation and lower interest rates could support the sector and employment in the medium term.                           

The rise in e-commerce is reducing in-store traffic, which could disadvantage a large percentage of Quebec businesses that are still lagging behind in online transactions.

The low population growth projected for the province and the aging population, which is changing consumption patterns due to lower incomes and changing needs with age, could limit employment.
