Saudi Gazette has several brief articles addressing Saudi employment. One notes that Saudis now make up a sufficient percentage of flour mills in Hail to reach its Saudization goal. Another notes that the government has permitted some 40 companies in the Eastern Province to hire women in meat factories, marine companies and general contracting firms. The last is about how the Ministry of Commerce & Industry is permitting women to take jobs as expediters (i.e., managing paperwork flow) in government agencies that have women’s branches. It is also encouraging women’s entrepreneurship by lowering the barriers to women’s starting up their own businesses.

Good moves all around!
