Currently the chances of qualified Executive Assistants finding employment are considered to be limited in the local area.

There are few job opportunities in the region for this occupation. In general, vacancies occur mostly in the public sector. Governments have adopted cost cutting measures to restore fiscal balance, however, and there has been very little recruitment activity in the public service as a result. There is a more active demand for Administrative Officers (NOC 1221). Administrative tasks are often combined into a single job, often with the job title of Administrative Officer.
