The employment outlook will be limited for General office support workers (NOC 14100) in the Centre-du-Québec region for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment decline will lead to the loss of some positions.
• Several positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are several unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

This occupation is found in most industries, but a significant number of jobs are concentrated primarily in services.

Since this is an entry-level position, many opportunities will come from staff turnover and retirements.

The evolution of employment depends mainly on changes in technology and work reorganization. In the context of a labour shortage, the implementation of office software and the integration of artificial intelligence are now helping managers and professionals do the work themselves or automate a large number of administrative tasks that they had previously assigned to people in this profession. These new opportunities have also increased employer requirements and reduced the demand for these employees in favour of more versatile occupations that require a higher level of education.

While certain factors will drive slight job growth, they will be insufficient to offset the effect of other factors influencing this occupation.
