What this means
Average job tenure in Agriculture in Saskatchewan was 250.3 months in 2025, per Statistics Canada. The figure summarizes the sector's working population across the province and is not a measure of any individual employer's retention performance.

Gallup describes replacement costs of one-half to two times a departing employee's annual salary as a conservative estimate, so the internal comparison pays for itself.
