According to Statistics Canada, Saskatchewan’s retail trade saw a 2.9 percent increase from April to May, the highest month-over-month growth among the provinces.<\/p>\n
“This increase in retail trade will directly lead to more jobs and opportunities for the people of the province,” Trade and Export Development Minister Warren Kaeding said. “Our vibrant retail industry is spurring investment into Saskatchewan communities and strengthening the economy which in turn, helps protect the vital programs and services we rely on.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
