Saskatchewan Posts Largest Salary Increases in November

Released on January 30, 2014

Average weekly earnings in Saskatchewan took a jump in November 2013, up 4.7 per cent over last November, the highest increase among the provinces and well ahead of the 2.5 per cent increase nationally. 

Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings were $967.45 in November 2013, the second highest in the nation. On a monthly basis, wages were up by 2.3 per cent between October 2013 and November 2013, the second highest percentage increase in Canada.

“Clearly, Saskatchewan’s workforce is benefiting from the province’s strong economic growth,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.  “Rising wages are leading to increased spending, further stimulating growth and diversifying our economic base, and more importantly has a positive impact on quality of life.”

“Having the highest annual wage growth in the country is an enviable position to be in,” Boyd said.  “It helps us attract the skilled workforce needed to maintain our economic growth and is good news for workers right here, right now.”
