But a greater part of the problem, IMO, is the cultural attitude that being "priviledged" has ingrained in many Saudis. They still have about 5 million immigrant workers in a country of some 25 million, doing tasks that most Saudis believe are beneath them. Thus, technically, there should be little unemployment in the Kingdom.

But most Saudis are well educated and not interested in unskilled jobs. They want economic opportunity and high paying jobs of the sort that their economic structure is unable to provide.

You could be talking about Germany in the above.
About 10% of their workforce is Turkish.
