For the 2012 - 2014 period, job opportunities in the Monteregie region are expected to be fair for this occupation. Employment levels are high in this occupational group, and labour demand will be quite strong. Openings will come from the need to replace retiring workers. Job opportunities will also arise from the high turnover rate.
The employment sectors are highly diversified, with close to half of the workers employed in the manufacturing sector, the information and cultural sector and wholesale trade. The economic slowdown, competition from low-wage countries, recruiting difficulties encountered by companies, and improved information services via the Internet should create a slight drop in employment levels for customer service clerks (particularly call centre agents) over the next few years.
This occupation requires high mobility. Approximately 45% of workers in this occupational group work in Montreal.
