The employment outlook will be moderate for Electronic service technicians (household and business equipment) (NOC 22311) in the Abitibi - Témiscamingue region for the 2024-2026 period.

The following factors contributed to this outlook:

• Employment is expected to remain relatively stable.
• A moderate number of positions will become available due to retirements.
• There are a small number of unemployed workers with recent experience in this occupation.

Steady household demand for electronic devices and equipment and the large number of stores and retailers selling these products account for the labour needs in the installation and repair fields.         

The population's high debt load should benefit repairers of electronic devices and equipment. Many households will choose (less expensive) repairs instead of buying new equipment.  

Moreover, this profession will benefit from the increased home use of artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of daily tasks and the growing demand for security features (alarm and video surveillance systems), which should support the demand for these workers.
