Job outlook over the next 3 years

Limited

The employment outlook will be limited for Shippers and receivers (NOC 14400) in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

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

Employment in this occupational group is primarily associated with trends that influence business and technological change.

While the popularity of e-commerce benefits these workers, inflation and rising interest rates are resulting in a loss of household purchasing power, which could lead to reduced consumer spending.

In addition, the implementation of inventory management software and the computerization of certain tasks are changing the work and contributing to a drop in the demand for this workforce.

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