In recent years, this occupational group has benefited from significantly enhanced hygiene measures, particularly in schools and healthcare facilities. However, with the surge in telework, many companies have downsized their offices, which has slowed hiring.
In an uncertain economic context, which is marked by trade tensions with the United States and by concerns about the future of the economy, investors are being more cautious. Major projects in the commercial and industrial sectors are therefore being postponed until there is more clarity on the economic and political situation. This slowdown in the labour market directly affects office use and business spending, which limits the construction of new buildings.
Nevertheless, maintaining high health standards helps to preserve most jobs in this occupation.
Furthermore, demand from the residential sector is supported by population growth and aging, two factors that contribute to increasing the need for housekeeping and home cleaning services.
