Labour demand
Openings converted into economic variables
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 24.6% 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.

GDP composition sensitivity
total preservedScenario parameters are not empirical estimates
The 0.05 elasticity has no cited Saskatchewan derivation or calibration and is explicitly registered as an assumed, unvalidated response parameter. The ±10% cap and 50-opening publication floor are governance bounds, not statistical validation.

Dollar tilts suppressed below the reliability floor
These sectors remain at their official GDP baselines and publish no scenario change: Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction [21] (5); Utilities [22] (13); Finance and insurance [52] (6); Real estate and rental and leasing [53] (12); Management of companies and enterprises [55] (45).
Sensitivity scenario only: sectors with at least 50 estimated openings may tilt within a capped response and reconcile within the included-sector subtotal. Lower-count sectors retain their official baseline and publish no dollar change. Elasticity 0.05 is assumed and unvalidated, not empirically estimated. This is not a GDP forecast.
