Saskatchewan has set an employment record for the month of September and for the seventh consecutive month has the lowest unemployment rate in the country.
There were 530,200 people employed in Saskatchewan in September 2011. Employment increased by 4,900 jobs compared to September 2010, according to today's Statistics Canada Labour Force survey.
Saskatchewan's unemployment rate was 4.6 per cent, the lowest in Canada for the seventh consecutive month, and well below the national average of 7.1 per cent.
Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris said compared to the economic uncertainty in many other parts of the world, Canada's and Saskatchewan's economies are doing extremely well in terms of creating new jobs and keeping unemployment low.
"We've seen records for employment, job postings and earnings for workers in Saskatchewan," Norris said. "Now, with an all-time high in population, Saskatchewan's strong and steady economy is poised to lead the nation in growth next year."
Full-time employment increased by 13,800, a 3.2 per cent increase in September. Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up by 4,200, an increase of 11.2 per cent and the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year increases.
"Even with record numbers of people working, more opportunities are available," Norris said. "This morning, the SaskJobs.ca website has almost 11,000 job vacancies posted in every part of the province.
"Saskatchewan's economy is on the right track and our government is working hard to keep our economy moving forward."
