Labour Market

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 within and outside of Canada 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 competing urban centers. We are working hard to attract and retain talent and become a community of choice.

Regina enjoys a very diverse and skilled labour force as a result of opportunities associated with a growing and sustainable local economy. Regina is home to the University of Regina and the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology. Both institutions have a great reputation and continue to produce high quality graduates in the fields of engineering, business, technology, education and skilled trades.

The labour force of the Regina CMA features a wide range of industries and occupational categories. In an effort to help local and prospective citizens and employers get detailed information on our region's labour market, we have developed a webtool that breaks down our labour force by several key labour categories and statistics. The table provides an overview of the Regina labour market by industry. You can also view the labour market by occupation.

To use the tool, simply select the statistic you would like to view from the drop-down box.
