Fun fact: 90% Kuwait, Qatar citizens work in public sector. Often unproductively.

Oh, the public sector... where productivity goes to hibernate in a cozy little cubicle. It's like a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" except you're searching for someone actually getting stuff done.
But hey, if 90% of Kuwait and Qatar citizens are working in the public sector, at least they can all take long coffee breaks together and swap stories about their exciting adventures in bureaucracy.
Because workers in private sector are mostly cheap immigrant workforce?
It was a titbit i found interesting from DW coverage on middle east transformation as oil demand supposedly declines eventually. Even taking into account slave-like contruction sector which had to be huge to build out everything in desert over decades I still found it surprisingly huge share of natives being in vegetative welfare status. Normally there are bunch of sectors in countrys economy that dont depend on manual labor. Entrepreneurship drives demand for quality education system and apparently they don't have that.
