SASKATCHEWAN HAS A RECORD-BREAKING JOB GROWTH AND THE LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN CANADA

Saskatchewan is setting new national benchmarks in employment, having added over 15,000 full-time jobs in May 2025, while posting Canada's lowest unemployment rate at 4.2%. This achievement underscores the province’s accelerating economic momentum and growing appeal for both domestic and international talent.

According to the latest labour force data:

  • Saskatchewan’s labour force hit a new record of 653,900 individuals

  • Full-time employment surged to 518,800, also an all-time high

  • Major employment gains were seen in healthcare, construction, and public administration sectors

  • Women’s employment notably increased by 3.8%, demonstrating improved gender inclusion in the workforce

These trends complement Saskatchewan’s leading national positions in:

  • Building construction investment

  • Retail trade performance

  • Housing development, as highlighted by the province’s 96.5% increase in housing starts earlier this year

This combination of employment growth, economic diversification, and infrastructure expansion positions Saskatchewan as one of the most attractive destinations for skilled workers and new immigrants seeking long-term stability and opportunity in Canada.
