More people are working in Saskatchewan than ever before, according to the provincial government.
A release sent out Friday indicated that Saskatchewan has added 3,300 jobs over the last year, putting the unemployment rate at 4.7 per cent.
There are currently 604,700 people working today in Saskatchewan, the province said, with Regina and Saskatoon seeing record levels of employment.
"Saskatchewan has seen more than two years of consistent job growth and has asserted itself as a province of growth and opportunity, adding nearly 8,000 new jobs since the start of 2023 alone," said Minister of Immigration and Career Training Jeremy Harrison. "Our government is looking to the future as the province sees exceptional labour participation rates and continued private capital investments, both of which are propelling Saskatchewan's continued growth."
The unemployment rate of 4.7 per cent now ranks third among the provinces and is below the national average of 5.4 per cent.
