Quebec’s labour market has bounced back after the pandemic, with 156,900 new workers. The number of unemployed persons also drastically dropped (- 94,900). According to Mia Homsy, Chief Executive Officer of the Institut du Quebec, the province started “2022 with one of the lowest unemployment rates in years and a record number of job vacancies.” Bilan 2021 de l’emploi au Québec : Transformations sectorielles et déficit de compétences en vue report revealed that Quebec’s aging population will negatively impact labour supply, especially the accommodation, food services, and retail industries.
