The fastest growing industries in Moose Jaw have been the mining, oil and gas industries, followed by the commercial and residential construction industries. The Moose Jaw region also produces some of the highest quality agricultural products in the world and is a central hub for nitrogen, potash and phosphate distribution.

These new investments and national and international confidence in the region have provided an economic boost that benefits the entire province. Given the strong projections for natural resource and agricultural production in the area, Moose Jaw is likely to experience significant investment directly and indirectly related to these industries, especially in mineral extraction, processing and transportation.
