Filipinos working in Saudi Arabia and Qatar have reportedly risen in number.
The Department of Labor and Employment has undertaken a supply-demand profiling of Filipino workers in Saudi Arabia and Qatar to enable those wanting to return home to find employment in the Philippines.
As of April of this year, there are approximately 11 million expatriate workers in Saudi Arabia, 85 percent of them coming from eight countries, including the Philippines. Rough estimates peg the number of Filipino migrant workers in Saudi Arabia at 970,000, with around 30 percent (or some 300,000) employed as domestic workers.
