Saudi Arabia launches unified employment portal

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has launched a unified employment portal offering job opportunities spanning across the government and public sectors. 

The Jadarat platform was unveiled by the Kingdom’s Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, Ahmed Al-Rajhi. 

 

The creation of the online portal falls in line with the country’s mission to reduce the rate of unemployment among citizens. 

In June, a report released by the General Authority for Statistics said that the unemployment rate among Saudi nationals reached 7.6 percent in the first quarter of this year, a slight decrease of 0.2 points from the previous quarter and a yearly drop of 1.1 points.
