UPDATE: SK EDO Salary Survey and Assessment

Thank you to our members who took part in the survey generated earlier this year. Your responses and input reflects the diverse fabric of communities across our province.

The varying size and scope of rural/remote, small urban and large urban communities - along with the broad range of potential economic developer responsibilities is not conducive(at this time) to taking a recommended salary scale forward to employers. In the case of municipal employers, compensation levels of other staff may also impact the salary range of economic developers within the same organization.

It is important to note that Manitoba is the only province in Canada with a suggested a salary scale for employers of economic development professionals.

The Government of Canada provides data on hourly economic development officer wages in each province. For members who wish do discuss this issue further, please contact SEDA CEO Verona Thibault at 306-384-5817 by via email at verona.thibault@seda.ca
