Wage Discrimination in the Middle East

[Dangerous-Boy]

Why would you want to work in the middle east for bedoiuns? Look at the moros. They're messed up and follow a stone age ideology.

You need to bring back paganism to phillipines, remain some the country after something other then king phillip of spain, and fly the flag of garuda.

No surprise really. The Gulf Arab countries are simply some of the most illiberal countries on earth. This is what happens when a bunch of haughty, arrogant, backward tribesmen strike (black) gold.

The population here will skyrocket as each family has 5 to 6 kids. What happens when the oil runs out in 40 to 50 years??

Professionals as in Engineers, IT, Finance? Most are from the US and Europe. Depending on how the contract is written we get a mix of six figure ($) incomes, apartments & transportation covered.

If they create industry like the UAE does they will be fine. If they follow the path of Saudi Arabia who is already running into the red due to low oil prices and over spending then their future is pretty bleak. Currently they are following the path of SA as they have also entered deficit territory. As they and most of the Middle East spend very little internally, they will all look like Yemen or Afghanistan.
