     News Release - February 12, 2013 SASKJOBS NETS MORE THAN 1 MILLION VISITS IN JANUARYSaskjobs.ca started the year strong with 1,098,651 visits to the website in January 2013, up 17.96 per cent over January 2012. “New and exciting employment opportunities are available each and every day throughout this growing province,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. “Saskjobs continues to be the foremost portal for connecting job seekers to employers in Saskatchewan.” Employers posted a total of 16,522 jobs on saskjobs.ca in January 2013, up 12.26 per cent year-over-year. Of those postings, the majority of job opportunities were available under the category of Sales and Services, which comprised 31.46 per cent of all jobs posted. Trades, Transport and Construction opportunities also made up a large portion of the jobs posted at 28.36 per cent. Meanwhile, the most significant year-over-year gains were seen in: Art, Culture, Recreation and Sport (73.37 per cent); Health (36.44 per cent); and Business, Finance and Administration (33.81 per cent). “There were a total of 348 communities throughout this province that had jobs posted on the website,” Boyd said. “This is just further proof that opportunities are available to individuals in every corner of this province and are not just available in our urban centres.” Outside of Saskatchewan, the majority of visits to the saskjobs.ca website from within Canada came from Ontario and Alberta. The United States, Philippines and India accounted for the majority of international visits to the website. Earlier this month, the Ministry of Economy launched a Saskatchewan Jobs Facebook page to promote working in Saskatchewan. Visitors will be able to access postings directly from the saskjobs.ca website through the Facebook portal. This is one of the many elements used to support the Real Growth, Real Opportunity national campaign, which is focused on recruiting workers to the province. -30- For more information, contact: Linda Ungar  News Archives
