This number accounts for 50 percent of the total 60,000 jobs, Al Eqtisadiah newspaper reported, citing a labor ministry official.

 

The four trading activities to be 70% Saudized include car and motorbike showrooms, shops selling ready-made garments for men and children, home and office furniture shops and shops selling kitchenware.
