Omani Workforce Figures Revealed by Minister of Labour
In a recent announcement, Dr. Mahad bin Said bin Ali Ba’alawi, Minister of Labour, shared key statistics about Oman’s private sector workforce. The figures highlight a significant presence of expatriate workers, alongside the ongoing efforts to create more employment opportunities for Omani nationals.
The Numbers at a Glance
- Non-Omani workers in the private sector: 2 million
- Omani workers in the private sector: 265,000
- New jobs expected to be created in 2025: 45,000
These figures reflect the continued reliance on expatriate labour, particularly in private sector industries. However, the Omani government remains committed to job creation, ensuring that more opportunities open up for locals in various fields.
What This Means for Oman’s Job Market
The employment landscape in Oman is evolving, with Omanisation policies aiming to boost local participation in key sectors. While expats continue to play a crucial role in the economy, the government’s focus remains on sustainable job creation for citizens.
