Here is where Côte-Saint-Luc residents work, by private-sector industry, compared with Quebec as a whole:
| Industry (NAICS) | Côte-Saint-Luc | QC |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 15.2% | 14.2% |
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 14.2% | 7.9% |
| Retail trade | 12.6% | 11.8% |
| Manufacturing | 7.2% | 10.3% |

What stands out is real estate and rentals: 3.6% of local workers, about 2.5 times the Quebec share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. Professional services is also above the provincial share, at 14.2%.
Revenue follows invoices for engineering, design and IT work. Growth usually means paying staff before the client pays. Cold months shift Côte-Saint-Luc work indoors and pause outdoor projects.
