Employment in this occupation depends on trends influencing retail trade, including demographic changes, the economic context, consumer habits and technological changes.
Recent population growth, which was driven by immigration, has expanded the customer base and diversified needs. However, in a context of rising living costs and economic uncertainty, consumers tend to prioritize spending on essentials goods, such as health products and food. This situation is helping to maintain job stability in grocery stores, which account for around a third of workers in this occupation.
Nevertheless, demand for this type of employee could be curbed by some trends, particularly ongoing growth in e-commerce, which is now an integral part of shopping habits. After a significant expansion of self-checkouts, many businesses are still reevaluating their implementation. Issues such as theft-related losses, technical failures, and a customer experience that is unsatisfactory, are prompting some retailers to rethink their approach. This could slow down the anticipated decline of this occupation until more efficient technological solutions become available.
