UAE Has 79,000 Emiratis in Private Sector as New Job Target Set
Around 79,000 UAE nationals are working in the private sector, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) revealed on Sunday.
It comes as the deadline for companies with 50 employees or more to achieve a one per cent Emiratisation growth in skilled jobs has ended.
These numbers reflect the highest-ever rate of Emiratisation recorded in the UAE private sector, marking at the same time a 57 per cent increase compared to the end of 2022 figures, where 50,228 UAE nationals were employed in the private sector, MoHRE said.
Nearly 17,000 private sector companies employ UAE citizens as of July 7, which was the last day for companies to achieve their semi-annual Emiratisation targets.
