UAE Jobs on the Increase as Projects Get Underway

According to a press release from marketwire, recruitment in the United Arab Emirates is expected to boom in 2013 as the local economy enjoys a significant boost in investment.

An increasing number of large-scale projects have been announced by both the government and the private sector, and recruitment agencies are reporting that up to 15% more jobs are being advertised compared to a year ago.

Traditional areas of the economy such as oil, gas and petrochemicals are predicted to generate the most number of new jobs, but sectors that have been slow in the recent economic climate, including banking, construction and real estate, are also showing very positive signs.

Recruitment experts in the region are in no doubt that this year will represent a great time for those looking to work in the UAE.

A spokesperson for Middle East specialist Mackenzie Jones said: “Dubai and the UAE as a whole has not stopped being a popular place to come and work, but we have definitely seen a significant upturn in the employment market recently.
