Multiple industries in Saskatchewan are having a difficult time finding people to work.
Some of the industries the province has identified as facing recruitment challenges include hospitality, retail, health, childcare and agriculture.
The Saskatchewan government is hoping to address these job vacancies through a new $4 million program. “We’re going to see what the uptake is going to be and I do expect there to be significant uptake,” Harrison said. “We’ve seen better labour market outcomes when we have employees, employers and government working in the same space — everyone with a stake in a successful outcome.”
In the childcare sector, Stevenson said some people left because of burnout over the pandemic. The industry also doesn’t pay as well compared to other types of work, she added.
