Average weekly earnings in Saskatchewan during the month of August were $955, second highest among the provinces behind Alberta.
"Higher wages indicate the on-going strength of our labour market and economic success," Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.
According to a report released by Statistics Canada today, earnings in Saskatchewan were up by 1.7 per cent on a year-over-year basis, the third highest increase in the nation.
"More people than ever before are living and working in Saskatchewan," Boyd says.
"We are taking meaningful steps to make sure this economic momentum continues in a manner that will benefit our businesses and communities, and above all, benefit the people who call this place home."
