Kuwaitis Turning To Private Sector Jobs Increased In 2020

For the first time in 8 years, there was a high turnout of Kuwaitis wishing to work in the private sector in 2020, as they accounted for 52.3% of the total registered in the authority’s employment system, with a total of 5,091 citizens, Al Qabas reported.

The report also showed a decrease in 2020 compared to 2019 in the total number of registered job seekers in the government and private sectors, as the decrease totaled 9585 citizens, while the number of new citizens registered in 2020 was the lowest percentage compared to 7 years ago.

The university students occupied the largest number of job seekers, with a total of 8,933 citizens, followed by those with diplomas, which amounted to 2,855 job seekers.
