This occupation is found in most industry sectors, but a significant portion of employment is concentrated in government services, particularly in hospitals. Growth should be lower than expected at the beginning of the forecast period due to a hiring freeze in Quebec's public service. However, other sectors should continue to hire these workers.
The administrative support community is still experiencing a labour shortage. Employee turnover is high, and replacement workforce is not enough to meet the labour market demand. Although the Government of Quebec has set up an accelerated training program for hiring support staff in clinical areas who assist nurses with administrative duties, there are still recruitment difficulties.
The continued digitization of business operations and changes to work modes, such as employees returning on site and flexible working arrangements, will boost demand for this occupational group because the need to coordinate work teams in a virtual environment will remain important.
