Labour Force

The labour force demographic in Saskatchewan is as unique as its landscape. Aging population of current employees, emerging technologies, a surge in employment-aged Aboriginal people and increased immigration from outside countries will all be factors that will shape the workplace of tomorrow.

Economies most effective at attracting and retaining talent are going to be comparatively prosperous in the years ahead.  Regina is emerging as a preferable place to live, work, and raise a family and has a greater portion of school age youth than most competitors.  We are working hard to attract and retain talent and become a community of choice.

Productivity
Regina will continue as one of the top three in western Canada related to labour force productivity over the next four to five years.  As a result, Regina’s labour force offers business more cost-effective and competitive options in comparison to other major western Canadian metropolitan areas.

Job Tenure
On average, job tenure in Saskatchewan has consistently been the highest in Canada, exceeding the national average by 18.7% and well ahead of every other province in Canada.

Overall, Saskatchewan talent is known as loyal and dedicated.  The result is lower employee turnover – allowing companies to recoup their hiring costs.
