Quebec Sectoral Outlook 2011-2013

Introduction

Each year, Service Canada issues medium-term employment forecasts by both industry and by occupation for Quebec as a whole and for each of its economic regions. The results of these analyses are published in a series of studies intended to provide a comprehensive overview of recent labour market developments and outlooks in Quebec and its various regions.

We hope this series of documents will interest people who are seeking labour market guidance and those who help them, including parents, educational staff and employment assistance service workers. It should also interest businesses and employer associations that want to identify human resources management issues in their industries.

This document is made up of two sections. The first part provides a synopsis of the labour market in the region, including an overview of economic developments and key labour market indicators. The second part presents sectoral outlooks by industrial groups catalogued according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
