"It's a great time to come to Saskatchewan," says Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, citing abundant job openings and solid economic growth in the province, amid economic uncertainty in other regions of Canada and around the world.
"For those losing their jobs, we need them to know we have thousands of jobs open right now in both the private and public sector," said Wall. "We have a powerful story to tell, a story of success and that's something we want to share with those who are struggling."
Saskatchewan was the only province to record a decline in unemployment rates from 4.2 in December to 4.1 in January; and more Saskatchewan jobs are on the way. Premier Wall announced a $500 million infrastructure plan to keep the economy strong.
Oil, uranium, and potash production are among the province's strongest industries. According to Premier Wall, Saskatchewan is also diversifying its resources and developing new projects.
Because of infrastructure development and tax reductions, Saskatchewan will likely continue to lead the nation in economic growth, according to a recently released Conference Board of Canada report.
"It's a beautiful, big place where life is great right now and there's also opportunity," said Wall.
