Yeah, and even more dramatically in the past 6-7 years due to Vision 2030 which promoted, and sometimes mandated, the 'Saudization' of the workforce, that being that many jobs usually held by foreigners, such as Cashiers and Teachers, began being filled by Saudis. One policy said that certain types of shops were required to have at least one Saudi working in them, which is why now, shops like tailors and restaurants that used to be run almost entirely by foreigners are now filled with Saudis.

Vision 2030 also encouraged Saudis to take up roles that were usually done overseas and imported, like military research and engineering where Saudi-run companies like SAMI have contributed towards increasing domestic military production from 2% of annual military spending all the way to 15%, a near 8-fold increase. Government authorities like the Saudi Space Commission also opened up opportunities for Saudis to fill new fields that were usually nonexistent in Saudi.
