Saskatchewan's population used to be primarily rural, but is becoming more urban. The population has been declining for many years, although this seems to be changing in recent years, as oilsands, potash and uranium development are driving an economic boom that is mirroring Alberta's boom. Farming remains the largest sector of the economy (actually is no longer the largest sector as the oil,gas and mining sectors expand), though it is becoming economically unviable. There are some attempts to grow other sectors of the economy, such as scientific research and technology. For example, a synchrotron is being built(has been built)at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.

Oilsands Quest recently received regulatory approval to initiate drilling on its oil sands exploration permits in northeast Alberta which are contiguous to its Saskatchewan permits. Management has estimated total Undiscovered Resources of 4.5 billion barrels of bitumen on these lands totaling an area of approximately 106 sections (approximately 3 townships) located in Townships 92 to 94 West of the Fourth Meridian (100% Oilsands Quest) adjacent to the Saskatchewan border.
