The largest employer is the manufacturing sector, followed by retail trade, health and social services and other services.

The riding of Joliette was created in 1867, abolished in 1933, then re-established in 1966. The 1996 redistribution kept 71 per cent of the riding and added eight per cent of Berthier-Montcalm.
