Saudi Arabia's unemployment rate fell to 5.1% in the first quarter of 2023, from 6% in the same period a year ago, according to data from the General Authority for Statistics ( Gastat ).  The decline in the unemployment rate was driven by an increase in the labor force participation rate, which rose to 52.7% from 50.4% a year ago. The employment-to-population ratio also increased, to 48.1% from 46.5%. The unemployment rate for Saudi nationals fell to 8.5% from 10.1%, while the unemployment rate for non-Saudis fell to 2.9% from 3.4%. The decline in the unemployment rate is a positive sign for the Saudi economy, which has been struggling to create jobs in recent years. The government has been implementing a number of reforms aimed at boosting the economy and creating jobs, including increasing the participation of women in the workforce and reducing the number of foreign workers.
