Saudi private sector employment up 8.2%
The number of Saudi nationals working in the private sector increased to 2.689 million by the end of the second quarter of 2026, with an annual growth of 204,000 workers and a growth rate of 8.2%, surpassing the growth of non-Saudi workers, which reached 6.8%. Over the course of three years, the number of Saudi workers grew by 440,000, representing a growth rate of 19.6%. Saudi women make up approximately 42% of the total Saudi workforce, with a strong presence in managerial positions where Saudi women account for 33%. The age group from 25 to 29 years old leads among Saudi participants, with around 578,000 workers. Employment is primarily concentrated in the Riyadh region, which hosts over 6.2 million workers, followed by the Eastern Province and Mecca. This reflects an expansion of employment opportunities in the private sector and an increased participation of Saudis, with job distribution continuing across regions, economic activities, and wage levels.
