Saskatchewan is celebrating its second-consecutive month of job numbers sitting at an all-time high.
In June, 576,900 people were working across the province, 8,700 more than June 2013.
Saskatchewan's unemployment rate is the lowest in Canada for the 18th consecutive month at 3.9 per cent. The national unemployment rate, meanwhile, sat at 7.1 per cent.
“The last two months of record job numbers are consistent with the high level of economic activity taking place in Saskatchewan,” Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said in a release. “We have one of the best economies in Canada, a competitive business environment, innovative entrepreneurs and above all, a skilled and hard-working labour force.”
