There were 948,055 hits on the saskjobs.ca website in November 2012, up 17.6 per cent from November 2011.
"Saskatchewan's economy continues to grow at a rapid rate and has created a priority for us to work at initiatives that connect employers with job seekers," Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. "Saskjobs.ca is one of the ways where it is happening as more employers post jobs and more job seekers visit this site."
In November 2012, employers posted 14,035 jobs on Saskjobs.ca, a 4.0 per cent increase from last November," Boyd said. "Full-time jobs represent 61.23 per cent of the posted positions. Mobile visits jumped by 229.96 per cent November 2012 over November 2011."
This is a solid rise in the number of hits to the website over the last year. Almost one-quarter of those hits are coming from outside the province and the country which is contributing to easing some of the labour market challenges and at the same time, contributing to the rise in our population.
