Dubai’s Digitalizing Workforce

LinkedIn published a report on “The Great Reshuffle”, which covered how the UAE is embracing a new world of work. 

The report, in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Economy, analyzed the 5 million-strong member base in the country to understand the forces that have been shaping the country’s labor over the last 5 years.
