The future forecast and current conditions for an occupation can vary based on location or due to changes in the economy, technology, or demand for a product or service.
National Outlook – 10-Year Projection (2011-2020)
This section provides labour demand and labour supply projections for this occupation over the 2011-2020 period.

The data in the following table are derived from HRSDC’s Canadian Occupational Projection System (COPS). COPS uses a variety of models to produce a detailed 10-year labour market projection per broad skill level and per occupation at the national level, which focuses on the trends of labour supply and labour demand over the next ten years.
This occupation (Architecture and Science Managers) is part of a larger occupational group called Managers in Engineering, Architecture, Science and Information Systems (NOC 021).

Occupation Projection for Canada
Over the 2008-2010 period, employment growth in this occupation was above the average for all occupations. However, the unemployment rate also increased. The average hourly wage increased at a lower rate than the average for all occupations; however, it is one of the highest among all the occupations. According to key labour market indicators, the number of job seekers was sufficient to fill the job openings in this occupation.
Over the 2011-2020 period, an occupation will be in excess demand (a shortage of workers) if the projected number of job openings is significantly greater than the projected number of job seekers. An occupation will be in excess supply (a surplus of workers) if the projected number of job openings is smaller than the projected number of job seekers. For Managers In Engineering, Architecture, Science And Information Systems, over the 2011-2020 period, job openings (arising from expansion demand and replacement demand) are expected to total 39,068 and 37,400 job seekers (arising from school leavers, immigration and mobility) are expected to be available to fill the job openings.
Given that labour supply and demand in this occupation were balanced, projections indicate that the number of job seekers will be sufficient to fill the job openings over the 2011-2020 period. Job openings will arise from both employment growth and retirements. The retirement rate for this occupation will be similar to the rate for all occupations. Job openings resulting from economic growth will increase more than the average for all occupations because this occupation will benefit from the strength of investments in private and public infrastructure projects and the strong growth in computer systems design services. In terms of supply, nearly one half of job seekers will come from the school system. However, given that many years of experience are often needed to obtain a management position, a significant number of job seekers will come from other occupations, mainly engineers and computer scientists working in natural and applied sciences.
