Labor Minister Adel Fakeih yesterday chaired a meeting of a special committee comprising senior government officials to discuss the challenges facing Saudization of jobs related to government contracts.
"The meeting discussed innovative solutions to overcome the challenges facing employment of Saudis in jobs related to operation and maintenance contracts signed by government departments," Fakeih said.
The move aims at combating unemployment, which reached 12.2 percent in 2012 with over 588,000 jobless Saudis out of more than 4.8 million citizens in working age.
The total number of employed Saudis was around 4.2 million, representing 87.8 percent of the Saudi labor force, a study released by the Statistics Department said.
