Labour Force Demand Expected to Grow

BuildForce Canada says labour force demand in Saskatchewan’s construction and maintenance industry should grow modestly by 2029. The residential sector is expected to pick up the pace as non-residential projects are completed. Starting this year, the two sectors are expected to diverge with a recovery on the residential side. The pace of overall employment declines is expected to stabilize in 2020-21. That will be bolstered by stronger exports that support moderate economic growth, an anticipated recovery in the construction of new housing, and industrial, commercial and institutional buildings.
