I never seem to see anything about this province. Just wondering thoughts about living and working here - lots of jobs? Is housing reasonable?

Thanks.

Very small population and almost all jobs are related to oil and farming.
If you don't already know people there I'm not sure it's the best choice for looking for a new home.

Beautiful province, have relations in Macklin and enjoy occasional visits, its basically all about oil and crops and potash mining so if any of your talents can be used in those areas,enjoy the big sky country..

Very nice people, sparsely populated, clean air, beautiful lakes, miles upon miles of beautiful prairie.

Lots of jobs... We simply cannot find enough people to fill all the jobs here. The company I work for brings in almost 1/2 the workers from Alberta

I work for a well servicing company that has a base in Estevan. I just spent the last month staying near Melita in SW Manatoba.

Housing prices are crazy
