Hiring in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia has seen significant increases, driven by the growth of the non-oil economy. In April, job creation in the UAE reached its fastest pace in 11 months, indicating a robust demand for workers as the economy diversifies away from oil dependency.

In Saudi Arabia, staffing levels rose to their strongest in over a decade. This surge reflects the ongoing efforts by both countries to strengthen their non-oil sectors, with various initiatives encouraging investments and job creation. According to The National, the rise in employment numbers is a clear sign of positive economic momentum in the region.
