Construction in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, plainly.
Abitibi-Témiscamingue will need roughly 300 new construction workers per year through 2030, according to the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ), which points to a historic order book driven by several major announced job sites: the Odyssey underground project at Agnico Eagle's Canadian Malartic mine, Hydro-Québec's Rapide-7 and Rapide-2 dams, and the new Rouyn-Noranda courthouse. An aging regional workforce combined with sustained demand makes the outlook particularly favourable for masons, carpenters, electricians, and crane operators.
