Location Employment Potential Release Date
Montérégie Region Fair 2012-10-23

For the 2012 - 2014 period, job opportunities in the Monteregie region are expected to be fair for this occupation.

There are strong employment levels in this occupational group, and labour demand will be high. Since there is a significant proportion of older workers, three quarters of job opportunities will arise from the need to replace retirees but, to a lesser degree, from job creation.

Nearly one third of workers are employed by cleaning service companies. Owing to the high health and safety standards in the health sector, that industry generates more than one-fifth of the jobs. Accommodation services and dry cleaning and laundry services also provide employment opportunities. However, strong seasonal unemployment is observed, particularly in the accommodation industry. High labour turnover rates also generate employment opportunities.
