Saskatchewan’s job numbers hit a record in May according to new figures released by Statistics Canada today with 560,900 people employed in the province (seasonally unadjusted). The 560,900 people working in Saskatchewan during May was the highest ever and beats the old record of 549,100 set last August. Job numbers were 2.7 per cent higher than last May and the second highest percentage increase among Canadian provinces. Jobs were up by 1.4 per cent on a national basis.
“With more people working in Saskatchewan than ever before, it is clear that our province is where companies are choosing to invest,” Energy and Resources Minister Tim McMillan said on behalf of Economy Minister Bill Boyd. “These numbers represent how aggressive industry continues to be in pursuing current and future projects here in the province.”
The unemployment rate in May was 4.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest in the country, and well below the 7.1 per cent posted nationally. Regina had the lowest unemployment rate among Canadian cities at 3.6 per cent, while Saskatoon had the second lowest rate at 3.9 per cent.
“The new figures posted today are more than numbers,” McMillan said. “They represent what many of us in Saskatchewan are striving for – a more prosperous province – where landing a great job, pursuing a new business venture is not just a dream, it is actually possible.”
