Minister of Labour and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), HE Jameel bin Mohammad Ali Humaidan, has stated that 14,163 citizens have been employed between January and June at the rate of 71 percent within the economic recovery plan, which amounts to 20,000 hiring operations annually. 

This has been achieved by attracting more job-generating investments, enhancing the work environment, diversifying training and qualification policies, and providing many advantages and incentives for the private sector so Bahrainis are the preferred choice for recruitment in the labour market.

“In addition, the number of citizens benefiting from various training programmes reached 7,237 trainees, which constitutes 72 percent of the declared goal of training 10,000 Bahrainis annually as part of the Economic Recovery Plan,” he states. 

Wages in the private sector witnessed an increase of 6.3 percent, following the launch of several initiatives aimed at increasing the wage support and improving the level of wages of new employees in the private sector.
