In 2022, nearly 77 percent of workers in the Gulf Cooperation Council were foreign nationals, while the remaining 23 percent were local citizens. Although the ratio of foreign nationals was marginally higher over the previous year, it was nevertheless a drop from the peak of 80 percent in 2017. Between 2017 and 2022, the ratio of foreign national to local citizen workers in the GCC hovered roughly around eight to two.
