Job outlook over the next 3 years

Very limited

The employment outlook will be very limited for Security guards and related security service occupations (NOC 64410) in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

  • Employment growth will lead to a few new positions.
  • A moderate number of positions will become available due to retirements.
  • There are several unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

Employment in this occupation depends on the protection needs of governments, businesses, and the public.   

Some of the employment opportunities should come from employee turnover due to working conditions that are specific to this occupation (work schedule and staff intervening in urgent and difficult situations).    

Increasing economic insecurity and homelessness are enhancing the sense of insecurity and stimulating demand for security services in establishments, such as shopping malls, office buildings and health care and social services facilities.          

The occupation will continue to be affected by technological advances in surveillance and control (alarm and video surveillance systems), which reduce the intensity of labour needs and make the job more complex and specialized.     

While job prospects for this occupation are moderate across the province, they will be very limited in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions.
