In the articles we read for class about Saudi Arabia, many of the issues of unemployment among the native population stem from the people being in two categories 1)undereducated for the high level, high paying jobs or 2) beliefs that they are above low level, low paying jobs such as service positions and tourism. Thus, cracking down on immigrant and foreign workers does not seem like a solution to decreasing unemployment for Saudis. Instead, it is going to knock out a large amount of employees for the lower level jobs and open up positions that many Saudis are against taking. Also, without education and the necessary skills the Saudi people will still be unable to assume high level positions. The government should instead encourage further development of high level positions by increasing foreign business in the country and diversity in their own economy and then alter the educational system as Matthew mentioned in order to properly educate and train Saudis for the types of jobs and incomes they really want.
