Let me get this straight: 5 percent of those Emiratis who work at all are in the private sector, 95 percent in the public sector, but altogether they only make up 2.87 percent of the labor force?

What percent of the Emiratis are in the labor force at all? And of those, how many have an actual job, instead of a government sinecure?

They sure better hope the money doesn't run out. This doesn't sound like any kind of recipe for stability to me.
