The employment outlook will be moderate for Web developers and programmers (NOC 21234) in New Brunswick for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment is expected to remain relatively stable.
• Not many positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

• Web developers and programmers are employed throughout the private and public sectors and are often self-employed.
• Employment demand will continue to benefit from the increased usage of the Internet and mobile technology as a channel for marketing business products and services as well as online retail transactions.
