Job prospects by occupation

The Employment Sector, a sector attached to the Ministry of Employment and Social Solidarity (MESS), makes forecasts of the labour market every year in the medium (five years) and in the long term (ten years). These forecasts cover employment by industry and occupation, as well as labour market participation and unemployment. They are based on medium and long-term economic forecasts from the Conference Board of Canada (cBDC), including those for household consumption, government spending, private and public investments, exports and imports, and exports, and imports, and exchange rate trends. If the economic growth observed during the forecast period is different from that expected by the cBDC, the evolution of employment could thus differ from what the Employment Sector foresees in its forecasts.
