Here is where Saint-Zotique residents work, by private-sector industry, compared with Quebec as a whole:
| Industry (NAICS) | Saint-Zotique | QC |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 14.8% | 14.2% |
| Retail trade | 13.3% | 11.8% |
| Manufacturing | 12.6% | 10.3% |
| Construction | 10.5% | 6.8% |

| Wholesale trade | 5.6% | 3.4% |
What stands out is wholesale and distribution: 5.6% of local workers, about 1.6 times the Quebec share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. Construction runs above average too, at 1.5 times the provincial weight.
A building-supply wholesaler in Saint-Zotique with about $116,000 in monthly deposits takes $52,000 to cover payroll during a slow-paying contract at a 1.30 factor rate, for a total payback of $67,600 over about 8 months. That works out to roughly $1,952 a week, or about 7% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $15,600 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
