Recently released September 2022 job numbers from Statistics Canada show strong year-over-year job growth in Saskatchewan, with 6,000 jobs added compared to September 2021. All new jobs were full-time employment.
Saskatchewan's unemployment rate fell to 4.1 per cent as of September 2022, the lowest among the provinces, and well below the national average of 5.2 per cent (seasonally adjusted). This change showed a decrease from 6.4 per cent in September 2021, and a decrease from 4.9 per cent in August 2022.
"Saskatchewan's unemployment rate is the lowest in the nation, thanks to the hard work of Saskatchewan people and confidence shown by job-creators across the province," Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said.
