Jobs in Quebec City, Quebec

Quebec City is the provincial capital, and the Quebec government and its agencies are the largest employers. Insurance, tourism, health care, Universite Laval, and technology firms working in optics, software and video games make up most of the rest.

French is essential here. Unlike Montreal, very few jobs can be done in English alone, although tourism and customer service employers value English as a second language. The historic old town draws visitors year-round, with peaks in summer and during the winter carnival, so hotels, restaurants and tour companies hire seasonally. Insurance head offices offer steady office careers in claims, actuarial work and IT. RTC buses serve the main employment areas. See public service jobs and hospitality jobs.
