Saskatchewan’s unemployment rate was 4.4 per cent in March 2015 (seasonally adjusted), maintaining the lowest rate among the provinces for the 18th straight month, well below 6.8 per cent recorded nationally according to Statistics Canada.
“We continue to have the lowest unemployment rate in Canada thanks to employers creating more new jobs for Saskatchewan people, showing confidence in our diverse economy,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “The increase in the number of jobs over last year is proof that Saskatchewan’s economy remains strong.”
Job numbers in Saskatchewan were on the rise this March, up 6,400 (1.1 per cent) over last March, the third highest percentage growth among all provinces.
“Our goal is to make sure Saskatchewan people have what they need to move into employment opportunities that are available now,” said Harrison.
