SaskJobs supplies the province-wide total and separate occupation and service-region partitions. The Job Bank monthly archive supplies NOC and city detail. Sector openings are modelled because only 28.2% of archived vacancies carry a usable source-industry label. The GDP run is a sensitivity scenario, not a forecast: openings are never converted into output dollars.
