“Saskatchewan is experiencing the largest skilled labour shortage in the country” according to Citizenship and Immigration Minister, Monte Solberg who recently announced a new program to bring skilled foreign workers into Canada.
In addition to foreign labour, the Calgary Sun reports that Saskatchewan is targetting workers in Alberta, touting Saskatchewan's affordable housing, shorter commutes and better quality of life overall as reasons to jump across the border.
People always think of Alberta as the golden child of Canada's economy but Saskatchewan isn't far off with a booming natural resources sector, record employment rates and not one but two Rolling Stones concerts coming up this fall (the only place on the current tour to have an extra show added!)
