CNN Story Highlights Saskatchewan
Saskatchean you could say hit it big time when on March 4, CNN did a story about Saskatchewan being a “hot spot” for jobs in Canada. As you can imagine with the current international economic crisis this was picked up by just about everyone. Saskatchewan runs a government sponsored job website called saskjobs.ca. The government reported that since 2 days of the CNN story going out the website had 52,000 hits including a single day record of 27,800. The largest increase we saw on the website was from American visitors. On one day alone there was 3,300 visitors which is 10 times the average. 87% of those total hits were new visitors.
The saskjobs.ca website currently hosts 5,800 jobs openings. “Saskatchewan continues to be a light in a dim global economic situation”, said Rob Norries, advanced education, employment and labour minister.
The artice was written by Mallory Simon and was the most viewed story on the day of its release and second most e-mailed story. If you are from Saskatchewan I am sure you are like me and were very proud to see our great province getting some recognition. There are a lot of people out there that assume everywhere is suffering with the current economic situation, but Saskatchewan is staying strong. We will not be totally immune to it but we are far better than most.
I can say as a Saskatoon real estate agent that I have been receiving more inquiries and have been working with more people from outside of Saskatchewan than ever before. We are seeing a lot of people moving back or moving here for the first time. People will always go where the jobs are and currently they are here in Saskatchewan!
