Jobs Predicted to Boom & Jobs at Risk in 2025

As we move into 2025, job trends continue to shift due to technological advancements, economic pressures, and automation. Some industries are experiencing rapid growth, while others are declining due to digital transformation and market shifts. Among the top-growing fields are cyber security, healthcare, and skilled trades.

With the increasing risk of cyber threats, businesses are investing heavily in cyber security professionals to protect their data and systems. Meanwhile, Canada’s aging population is driving demand for personal support workers, medical office assistants, and other healthcare professionals. Skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians remain in high demand due to ongoing infrastructure projects.

On the other hand, certain jobs are at risk due to automation and digitalization. Traditional retail positions, administrative office roles, and print media jobs are declining as e-commerce, AI, and digital marketing replace traditional business models. Self-checkout machines, AI-driven customer service, and automated office systems are reducing the need for entry-level office workers and retail staff.

For those currently in at-risk jobs, the best strategy is up skilling or transitioning to a more stable career path. Programs at ABC Access Business College, funded through Better Jobs Ontario, offer career-focused training in technology, healthcare, and business administration, helping Ontarians secure future-proof careers.
