The Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics operates under the Saskatchewan Statistics Act 1972 and is located within the Ministry of Finance. The Bureau is the designated focal point for communications with Statistics Canada and dissemination of its information. The current staff complement consists of a director, two research officers, a statistical clerk and a secretary.

The Bureau releases the Monthly Statistical Review and the Saskatchewan Economic Review. Both publications are a compendium of the most asked-for Saskatchewan monthly, quarterly and annual data. In addition, the Bureau produces a set of Economic Accounts twice yearly which are published as Saskatchewan Economic Statistics. The Saskatchewan Fact Sheet provides a snap shot of important economic and social statistics on Saskatchewan for the past two years. On a monthly basis and based on documentation from Statistics Canada the Bureau compiles tables for the distribution of the Labour Force and the Consumer Price Index reports.

The Bureau also answers numerous requests for statistical information from the public and various government departments.
