Saskatchewan Ranked 2nd Best Labour Market in North America

[Locutus]

Fraser Institute;

Led by Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada’s Western provinces are among the best-performing labour markets in North America, concludes a new report from the Fraser Institute, Canada’s leading public policy think-tank.
​

Not so fast....

In five provinces—Newfoundland and Labrador, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia—more than 25 per cent of all workers were employed by various levels of government.
​

Small wonder Saskatchewan flirts with deficit budgets in a time of economic expansion.

Now is the time to fix this. Get 'er done, Mr. Wall.

While here in BC the rats are fleeing the ship........three more Liberal MPs said bye, bye today. By the time, the election rolls around next spring, the only Liberal left standing will be the cookie.........then again, the way she's crumbling there might not be a party at all.

Been in the patch in Kindersley area since january,they drilled over 1000 wells there now.You could not get a hotel room unless you booked a week before.
I'm back in Alberta,Coronation area and 30 days straight now putting leases back!
I love this work.
The patch is booming!
Were putting back full build leases in 2 days,I got a couple old timers on the dozers so it's non stop 13 hour days.

That is why God invented canoes.

That is why God invented canoes.

That's why you build a road to those eskers in the winter time.
Sand is worth $1000 a sandbag in the arctic and the eskers are the only source of sand.
I mined out 8 eskers for Agnico eagle meadowbank mine,they built the whole mine and made concrete from that sand.
Probably cost Agnico a half million dollars for that material..

There is no shortage of sand and gravel in SK.
