Oil in North Africa & Southwest Asia
Sit back and enjoy.
Even in large, urban cities, the income gap is widening. For instance, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, poverty is becoming a problem and several people are unemployed- even though Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. People in developing rural areas don't usually benefit much from oil.

Income Gaps
Guest workers are attracted to oil-rich countries, in search of jobs- usually oil-producing or construction jobs. In Saudi Arabia, 80% of labor force is made up of guest workers. In Kuwait, the amount is 60%.
Most- if not all- petroleum operations are controlled by foreigners,
but the African governments in North Africa are devoted to increasing
their share of the ownership.
