| The
job market in Quebec
Professional Prospects
2004-2006
Employment prospects are exceptional,
which means there is hope for all who wish to
enter the job market.
Two factors have contributed
to this recrudescence in available employment:
economic growth and an ageing population.
Indeed, 57 percent or 338 000
positions will become available due to retirement
or death.
The number of university graduates in Quebec
is less than that of Ontario as well as in most
developed countries. Our competitive capacity
will be threatened if nothing is done.

This phenomenon is worldwide,
however Quebec’s exceptional babyboom of
the 50s and 60s will have a significant impact
on the job market in the coming years.
The evolution in technology
affects every sector of the working world, demanding
an increasingly skilled labour force. Those highly
skilled will hold an important asset in the recruiting
process.
Seeking, finding, attracting
and then keeping a competent labour force. These
are the challenges businesses will face within
this new reality.
