Employment by industry is the best public picture of what a local economy sells. In Amqui, the six largest private sectors look like this next to the Quebec average:
| Industry (NAICS) | Amqui | QC |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 18.3% | 14.2% |
| Retail trade | 15.1% | 11.8% |
| Manufacturing | 12.9% | 10.3% |
| Construction | 6.5% | 6.8% |
| Other services, such as repair and personal care | 5.5% | 4.4% |
| Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting | 4.8% | 1.8% |
What stands out is farming, forestry and fishing: 4.8% of local workers, about 2.6 times the Quebec share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. Health care is also above the provincial share, at 18.3%.
Large public and health-care employers steady the local economy. Local shops benefit from a stable customer base. Snow season helps Amqui clearing and indoor trades but slows patios and landscaping.
Funders read at least four months of statements; a full year shows the pattern best.
A fruit orchard and farm market in Amqui deposits about $39,000 a month, of which roughly $31,200 comes from card sales. It takes a $23,000 advance for a second point-of-sale area at a 1.20 factor rate, so the total to repay is $27,600. With a 8% holdback on card sales, about $2,496 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 11 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
