Al-Thani made these remarks during an interview on Qatar TV
— the first since he assumed the position of prime minister.
Qatari labor challengesThe prime minister also spoke about the
Qatari labor market, noting that the
increase in Qatari’s direct income drains public budgets, where 90 percent of
Qataris work for the government, which has limited capacity.
About 7,000 Qataris were employed last year, 5,200 by the
government and the rest by private companies, he said.
While

private sector “must also provide opportunities for citizens", the prime
minister said.
