KSA cuts job quota for its nationals
Inability to find local workers has forced Saudi Arabia to reduce the job quota for its nationals in certain sectors.
Jobs reserved for Saudis have been reduced from 30 percent to 20 percent in industries like foodstuffs, beverages, textiles, readymade garments, shoes, furniture and paper.
The decision taken last week by the Saudi Minister of Labour Ghazi Al-Gosaibi also requires that the quota of Saudis working in these factories does not fall below 15 percent in the first two years of operation, or three years from the date of licensing.
