a saudi on the ground is anecdotal evidence and cannot be considered as evidence because he wont know the situation of the country, only his personal experience in the one or two cities he spends a lot of time in. There is absolutely no way a person can tell me that all the proofs I can bring up from journals etc are false but some guy on teh net who claims that he knows someone who lives there who said x,y,z should be considered as a 100% accurate source of info. Thats just absurd. "Arabnews said x,y and z but that cant be true coz my mates from saudi and he said no way does it feel like 300,000 saudis have gotten jobs". For starters what about all the saudi women now working in underwear shops, that was a recent development that would contribute to statistcs.

question 2 has answered question 1. The reason they kick out expats is because they are slowly trying to take over everything with their native population so that they can continue to power their country after the oil money dries up and all the expats pack up and leave for the next financially booming country.

If your claiming this research was done by a westerner then you need to provide evidence.

I know absolutely tonnes of saudis who are working as engineers and other various jobs, I even have met a saudi fighter pilot so I know tehre are Saudis who are working but as I said, you cant make up statistics based on your personal experiences

Brother, can you please provide any reference yourself just like you ask bro Taliban1 to do?

I once did a research on how much are Hajj revenues a part of Saudi GDP, I think it was about 10-15% and that was about 2 years ago.

(edit) P.S: I appluade their break through in science and technology as long as they achieve that within the limits of Sharia.
