6000 Jobs Available and High Weekly Earnings; Saskatchewan is the Place to Live

Saskatchewan is done extremely well keeping people employed and minimizing layoffs over the past year. Skilled workers are still hard to find while low skilled workers are starting to become extremely difficult for rural Saskatchewan companies.

“Saskatchewan continues to be the best place in Canada to weather the economic storm,” Norris said. “With more than 6,000 vacancies on saskjobs.ca, opportunities are still available.”

Weekly earning for people have steadily been increasing in Saskatchewan for the past few years as it is an attractive place to move to for permanent residents in Canada as well as foreign workers abroad.


“Average weekly earnings in Saskatchewan are now $803.77. Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings were the second highest in western Canada, ahead of Manitoba ($765.26) and British Columbia ($798.75). Among all provinces, Saskatchewan’s average weekly earnings occupied the fourth highest position after Alberta ($962.77), Ontario ($843.43) and Newfoundland and Labrador ($804.81).

In addition to higher average earnings, Saskatchewan recorded the second largest percentage increase (next to Prince Edward Island) of 1.2 per cent in the number of occupied payroll jobs in June 2009 compared to a year ago, well above the national average of -2.2 per cent.”

This is a perfect time for international graduates to come to Saskatchewan to obtain their goal of permanent residence. Having the ability to take any job and apply for permanent residence after 6 months is a luring temptation for these educated youth. Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program allows for this alternative to bring these youth to the land of opportunity.
