Magnitude vs Vulnerability: Why Saskatchewan is uniquely exposed

High Impact & Vulnerable
High Impact, Resilient

Key Insight

Saskatchewan is the vertical outlier — 31% exposure rate despite modest absolute numbers. It's not about how many workers, but how concentrated the risk.

Ontario is the horizontal outlier — most absolute workers exposed (25K), but low rate (10%) due to diversified economy.
