Prospects over the next 3 years

The employment outlook will be very good for Accommodation service managers (NOC 60031) in Quebec for the 2023-2025 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

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

The employment level in this profession is a result of trends that influence accommodation, health care and social assistance services, and more specifically, residential and long-term care centres.

Future growth will mainly come from making up for jobs lost during the health crisis, but this may not be enough to return to the prepandemic level.

In traveller accommodation services, in which 70% of the members of this profession work, growth of the profession will be linked to the recovery of leisure tourism.

The slow recovery of business tourism could cause accommodation providers to lose some of their clientele, especially in downtown areas.

Given the aging population, this profession will benefit from the growth expected in the nursing and residential care facility sector.

The slowdown during the pandemic depleted the labour pool, mainly in the tourism sector. Layoffs and more attractive and stable job offers in other sectors have attracted a number of these workers, and the industry is struggling to attract and retain employees.
