Expatriates in Saudi Number 8.8m
A total of 8.8 million expatriates live in Saudi Arabia, a figure that is equivalent to nearly 50 percent of the indigenous population, Labor Minister Dr. Ghazi Al-Gosaibi said yesterday. | In other words, fully one third of the people in Saudi Arabia ain't part of the Master race. And that's just the ones that they know about. |
The figures cited by Gosaibi exceed earlier unofficial estimates that expatriates accounted for some seven million out of a total population of 23 million, with an unemployment rate of 20 percent. | pssst, Dr. Gosaibi, they all work for the Mossad, pass it on. |
