The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) remains one of the top destinations of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and will likely remain in that spot with the news that for this year alone, the KSA is set to hire more than 300,000 skilled workers from the Philippines.
According to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary, Marianito Roque, the numbers of OFWs in Saudi are expected to reach 1.8 million before the year 2008 ends. Roque said, “By April, we expect the number of OFWs in Saudi to reach 1.5 million and to as high as 1.8 million by the end of the year.”
The construction of four super cities in Saudi Arabia will require hiring more foreign workers in the next five years. The infrastructure project is expected to stimulate further economic growth.
