lets just hope that it doesn't make matters worse for here than they could be... i hope as i read, that the recession is short lived... the longer it goes on, the harder it will be for sask to survive...

Lets hope your wrong Ryan, and the wages will go up too! From what i hear they havent went up all that much yet.
Im still really sure that Alberta wont stay down for that long either. The second the price of oil gets up, I bet my phone will be ringing off the hook for me to get my *** back out there.

I haven't seen the boom here. We are now in the process of closing my wifes business. In the last few years it has been nose diving. Even the guy who owns Goulds billiards says it sure has dropped of on business. He too says where is this boom. Tirecraft on 50th closed down. Their tires sales dropped. ??? you think that would go.
I talked with several small businesses and they said it has not helped them except costs more to run. Readers nook also closed his doors. Rent went through the roof his sales dropped.
One of my wifes students got laid off from her job, because the employer is hiring new managers at a lower wage. The higher wage managers were let go. She now cannot find work. Here is the kicker. The places she applys to say she is not qualified enough, but they have been hiring people from Ontario. Some are wives of laid off autoworkers. This spring we will see an influx of people from Ont.
So you will start to see the help wanted sign going.
