Saskatchewan began 2008 by setting another new job record. There
were 496,000 people working in Saskatchewan in January, the most ever
for that month and 2,600 more than last year. There were 5,100 more
full-time jobs than in January 2007.
The new employment figures build on a number of job creation
records Saskatchewan set in 2007. Last year saw more people than ever
before working in the province and the biggest jump in income in the
country, with the average worker seeing his or her income increase by
6.9 per cent.
