Saudi Unemployment Hits Record Low, Approaches ‘Vision 2030’ Target

Unemployment rate hits historic low in Saudi Arabia, bolstered by women entering the job market (Asharq Al-Awsat)

In the last quarter of 2022, the unemployment rates in Saudi Arabia hit a historical low of 8%, which is only one percentage point away from the targeted rate of 7% specified in the country's national transformation plan, “Vision 2030.”

The decrease in joblessness in the Kingdom can be attributed to the government’s activities and the private sector’s role in employment operations.
