Occupational Projections<br />

National<br />

National labour market information for these occupational categories is provided by HRSDC at the 3‐<br />

digit level for Sales, <strong>Marketing</strong> and Advertising Managers (NOC 061).<br />

Over the period from 2009 to 2018, the number <strong>of</strong> Sales, <strong>Marketing</strong> and Advertising Manager job<br />

seekers is expected to be sufficient to fill the available job openings for these occupations. Job openings<br />

are expected to total 39,312, while it is projected that the job seekers available to fill these job openings<br />

will total 45,903. The majority <strong>of</strong> job openings (61%) in this period will be produced by retirements.<br />

Expansion demand (the creation <strong>of</strong> new job opportunities based on economic growth) will account for<br />

23% <strong>of</strong> job openings. A large number <strong>of</strong> job seekers will be workers with experience in sales, advertising,<br />

or marketing seeking to progress to management positions. There will also be a large number <strong>of</strong> job<br />

seekers who come directly from school business programs.<br />

Provincial<br />

According to the OJF website, Ontario employed an estimated 72,610 Sales, <strong>Marketing</strong> and Advertising<br />

Managers in these main industries:<br />

Wholesale trade (36%)<br />

Other pr<strong>of</strong>essional services (11%)<br />

Information, culture and recreation (10%)<br />

Finance, insurance, real estate and leasing (5%)<br />

Management, administrative and other support (4%)<br />

These occupations are expected to have average employment prospects over the period from 2009 to<br />

2013. While employment growth will be slower than for other occupations, the large size <strong>of</strong> this<br />

occupational category will create strong replacement demand due to retirements.<br />

HRSDC provides additional provincial employment outlook information for Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Occupations in<br />

Business Services to Management (1122), which includes marketing pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. In Ontario, these<br />

occupations are expected to <strong>of</strong>fer good employment prospects for the next few years. The large number<br />

<strong>of</strong> retirements will produce job openings in this occupational category, coupled with new job openings<br />

(expansion demand) from continuing employment growth. Employers may have difficulty recruiting the<br />

workers they will need, and a shortage <strong>of</strong> workers is likely.<br />
