According to the Arabtimes, the total number of job opportunities that the government will create in the coming years will be about 375,000 for citizens and 148,000 for non-citizens,
while the private sector will create about 137,500 jobs for citizens and 1.6 million jobs for non-citizens. The plan based its estimates on the overall economic model from the Supreme Planning Council,
which is concerned with the average rate of investment, expected growth rate, private sector’s incentive policies and diversification of the manufacturing base.
The average demand for workforce needed to achieve the economy objectives of the plan is around 68,300 employees per year.
It stressed the importance of increasing the participation of national personnel in the private sector through recruitment and training programs for them, and controlling the congestion in the governmental sector in line with the international levels and criteria allotted in this domain.
