Job outlook over the next 3 years

Limited

The employment outlook will be limited for Social and community service workers (NOC 42201) in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions for the 2024-2026 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 several unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

There is a growing number of jobs in this occupation due to the increase and diversification of social service needs. To meet this growing demand, the government has announced its intention to expand and improve these services with additional investments, particularly in youth protection, homelessness, and overdose and addiction prevention.

Community organizations employ many of these workers. Although the Government of Quebec recently increased funding for community organizations, there is still a major issue with the continuation of their subsidies. New job creation will be limited as a result.

Here are some key facts about Social and community service workers in the Côte-Nord and Nord-du-Québec regions:

  • Approximately 1,180 people worked in this occupation in May 2021.
  • Social and community service workers mainly work in the following sectors:
    • Nursing and residential care facilities and social assistance (NAICS 623-624): 55%

    • Other services (except public administration) (NAICS 81): 7%
