Job outlook over the next 3 years

Moderate

The employment outlook will be moderate for Retail salespersons and visual merchandisers (NOC 64100) in the census metropolitan area of Montréal for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

  • Employment growth will lead to a moderate number of new positions.
  • Not many positions will become available due to retirements.
  • There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

The evolution of this occupation is linked to the trends that influence the retail industry.

Inflation and rising interest rates, resulting in a loss of purchasing power for households, could lead to a decrease in their consumption.

The province's population growth is among the slowest in Canada, while an aging population is leading to a different way of consuming due to lower income and changing needs with age, which clouds the longer-term outlook.

This trend could become more pronounced if the rise of e-commerce continues, reducing in-store traffic, while a large proportion of Quebec businesses still lag behind in online transactions.

While the employment outlook for this occupation is moderate at the provincial level, it will be limited in the regions of Gaspésie—Île-de-la-Madeleine, Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec.

Here are some key facts about Retail salespersons and visual merchandisers in the census metropolitan area of Montréal:

  • Approximately 77,520 people worked in this occupation in May 2021.
