SASKATCHEWAN EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE HIGHEST JOB GROWTH IN CANADA
On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan, I was pleased to attend a great news conference at KPCL Dirt Movers August 8th to share some exciting news about Saskatchewan’s Labour Force.
KCPL has been a leader in the construction industry in Saskatchewan. It is businesses like KPCL Dirt movers that support the impressive growth seen in our construction and mining sectors in Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan is experiencing some of the highest job growth in Canada, and we continue to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.
Our two biggest cities are experiencing significant growth with Saskatoon and Regina adding 4,300 and 5,600 jobs last month.
Here in the Saskatoon region, the unemployment rate is the second lowest among major cities in Canada.
Building the Workforce for a Growing Economy – the Saskatchewan Labour Market Strategy – is a three-point plan to ensure our province has the workforce we need, now and into the future.
Through access to post-secondary training, skill development and apprenticeship programs we are helping Saskatchewan people get to work and gain the skills employers need.
Saskatchewan certainly is and always will be the best place to live and work in Canada.
SASKATCHEWAN TOPS PROVINCIAL RATINGS, REFLECTING ECONOMIC STRENGTH
Saskatchewan continues to demonstrate financial stability by maintaining the highest credit rating among the provinces when the ratings from all three major agencies are considered.
"Today's announcement highlights the strength and stability of Saskatchewan's economy," Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance Jim Reiter said. "Our government remains committed to keeping Saskatchewan the most affordable place to live in Canada, while ensuring strong investments in critical areas like health care, education and capital infrastructure continue."
