Location Employment Potential Release Date
Lanaudière Region Fair 2013-01-08

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

Most opportunities will arise from the need to replace retiring workers and, to a lesser degree, job creation. Openings will be filled mainly by experienced internal candidates. The level of employment for this occupation is directly related to retail activity. Over the past three years, employment in retail has been climbing. Given the good outlook for the retail industry, weak employment growth is forecasted for this occupation over the projection period. The number of workers in this occupation is therefore expected to increase slightly during the 2012-2014 period.

Employees in this occupational group work mainly in retail trade.
