2 BACKGROUND AND METHODOLOGY The Ministry of the Economy contracted Insightrix Research Inc. to undertake the 2013 Saskatchewan Survey to determine detailed wage information and job vacancy rates for common occupations in Saskatchewan. What follows is a summary report and detailed information provided by employers in the Goods-Producing Sector. collection began on September 25, 2013, and ended December 31, Of the 1,544 employers who completed the 2013 Saskatchewan Survey 2013, 1,960 operate in the Goods-Producing Sector representing 18,673 employees. This report provides summary wage and job vacancy rate details for 150 occupations, based on data from only those employees who work within the Goods-Producing Sector. Detailed wage and job vacancy rate results for these occupations can be found in a separate supplementary Goods-Producing Sector report. Goods-producing industries are primarily associated with the production of goods (e.g., growing of crops, generation of electricity, the manufacturing of computers). However, these sectors may also produce some services (e.g., pest control services, plumbing services, land subdivision, house-painting, and support services for mining operations). The Goods-Producing Sector includes the following industry sectors and subsectors (and related industry codes) based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS 2007): Agriculture (11) Mining, Quarrying, and Oil and Gas Extraction (21) Utilities (22) Construction (23) Manufacturing (31-33) Details regarding the methodology and overall results for all occupations across all industries are contained in the Saskatchewan Survey Report 2013: Methodology and the Saskatchewan Survey Report 2013: Provincial Results. 1 P age

3 HOW TO INTERPRET THE WAGE DATA The following term definitions are used to report on the occupational wage data contained in the full 2013 Survey report: Label Interpretation Equally weighted mean reported hourly wage for that occupation. The mean is calculated as the average of all employees reported on, regardless of the relative size of employers reporting within the category. Midpoint of observed values; 50% of reported hourly wages are below this value and 50% are above. The table below illustrates the data grades for the wage and vacancy results. Classification Rating Margin of Error Percentage Excellent A 0.0% 4.9% Good B 5.0% - 9.9% Fair C 10.0% % Less Reliable D 15.0% % Insufficient to Report - Greater than 31% s reported in the 2013 Saskatchewan Survey are a reflection of the reported wages from participating employers at the time of the survey in September 2013 to December Other sources of wage information including the National Job Bank may list different wages for the same occupations. applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in order to hire a Temporary Foreign Worker should use the National Job Bank median wage rate in any application ( and not the wages reported in the 2013 Saskatchewan Survey. 2 P age

4 HOW TO INTERPRET THE JOB VACANCY DATA Job vacancies include an absolute count (not full-time equivalents) of employees needed in positions that meet all three of the following conditions: i. A specific position exists; ii. Work may commence within 30 days; and iii. The employer is seeking employees from outside of this organization to fill the position. The specific wording of the question was as follows: How many vacant positions do you currently have in this occupation, including both full and part-time positions? If respondents did not hire any individuals in an occupation within the past two years, they were asked to indicate so. The vacancy rate for each occupation, R, is calculated using the formula = V V+F employers who completed the job vacancy section of the survey., where V is the number of vacancies and F is the number of currently filled positions among all may be suppressed within certain cells of the tables included in this report due to an insufficient data being provided by employers within this industry sector. In these cases, a - is inserted in the cell to indicate that the data has been suppressed. 3 P age
