Human resources and management development expert Mohammed Al-Muaigel said that attracting skilled professionals and employing them effectively enhances work quality and sustainability, while also contributing to lower unemployment rates.

Speaking in an interview with Al-Ekhbariya TV, he added that the main factors behind the decline in unemployment include Saudization policies, training programs, freelance work, and remote work initiatives.

According to data released last Wednesday by the General Authority for Statistics, Saudi Arabia's unemployment rate fell to 6.5% in the second quarter of 2026, down from 6.8% in the same period of 2025.
