The employment outlook will be very limited for Receptionists (NOC 14101) in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment decline will lead to the loss of some positions.
• A moderate number of positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are several unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

This occupation is found in most sectors of the economy, particularly in the services sectors.

New technologies continue to fundamentally change the occupation. Part of the traditional tasks of receptionists can now be carried out by technological tools, such as auto attendant, online appointment booking and chatbots. For that reason, fewer workers are required to respond to customer inquiries. Therefore, the employment outlook is limited for this occupation.

The number of workers available in this profession reduces job opportunities for candidates with few skills. Businesses tend to favour those who are bilingual, versatile and have computer knowledge.
