Wholesale trade in Saskatchewan has broken another record for the month of May.

Wholesale trade reached $2.3 billion, up 9.8 per cent on a year-over-year basis.

"What I think we can say is that Saskatchewan has a very diverse economy, and we've been growing our economy over the last several years and we continue to hold our own," said Acting Assistant Deputy Minister, Kirk Westgard. "We've seen the population continue to increase in Saskatchewan over the last couple of years, and we've seen record growth in employment, and job numbers continue to grow, so it's all leading to the same direction as a strong, diversified economy."

Westgard adds these figures, along with the increase in jobs and population, will continue to help Saskatchewan grow.

Saskatchewan has the second highest growth rate among the provinces.
