Yet more proof that we may avoid a recession in Saskatchewan.
Some more positive news on the Saskatchewan economy. From what experts are saying, Saskatchewan might dodge this recession.
Saskatchewan holds firm as Canada’s economy wilts
Leader Post - March 4 - As global commodity prices, stock markets and interest rates seesaw crazily from day to day, one thing is for sure: the computers are running hot in Saskatchewan’s Finance Ministry.
Two weeks from today (March 18), Finance Minister Rod Gantefoer will deliver his second provincial budget and it’s likely the calculations will go right to the time the printing presses turn.

Looking for a job? Government officials in Saskatchewan say the province is ripe with prospects.
While the rest of Canada has seen declining jobs and increasing numbers of workers hitting the unemployment lines as the recession worsens, Saskatchewan has been facing a labour shortage, says Rob Norris, the province’s labour minister.

It is not often that a city in the Atlantic provinces can lay claim to the title of hottest job market in the country. However, St. John’s, Newfoundland, at 6.7% employment growth in January, was faster than all the other CMAs in Canada. The only exception was Regina, Saskatchewan, where the rate of employment growth was also 6.7%.

It’s a go at Ironwood Crossing. Despite its land division filing for bankruptcy protection, Fulton Homes, the developer of this single-detached community, has assured customers it will continue to construct homes and honour its warranty commitments.

It could mean big things for the environment while also serving to help increase private oil production in Saskatchewan.
Crown Investment Corporation officials say it could be just a matter of months until the government of Montana and the province reach an initial agreement on North America’s first major carbon-capture project. Utilizing carbon sequestration technology pioneered at the University of Regina, it would see greenhouse gases produced by both region’s coal-burning power plants sunk into oil fields. Not only does that prevent them from damaging the atmosphere, it can also help private oil producers extract hard-to-reach oil deposits.
As discussed in the previous post, here are the actual job numbers that were just released…

There were 16,600 more people working in Saskatchewan in January compared to the same month a year ago - an increase of 3.3 per cent. That’s by far the strongest rate of employment growth in the country and a sharp contrast to the rest of Canada, which lost more than 126,000 jobs during that same period.
Saskatchewan still has the lowest unemployment rate in the country.

So exactly how long can Saskatchewan remain an island? In the United States, a mind-boggling 598,000 jobs were lost in January — the most in any single month in 35 years. With icons of American business like Microsoft, General Motors, Ford, Home Depot, Caterpillar, Pfizer, Macy’s, Estee Lauder and Liz Claiborne all announcing layoffs last month, America’s unemployment rate vaulted nearly a percentage point to 7.6 per cent.
