The data also indicates a transition in the job market of Saudi Arabia, said, Grundy. Some areas of the skilled market are growing even as others are sluggish, he added. The increases in salaries are however predicted to be modest. This includes 3% salary increase for Legal professions and 2% for Finance Specialists.

 

The report says that upside in salary hike can also be expected in 2018 notwithstanding the fact that employers are conservative about salary projections. This is due to the enhanced economic growth, adds the report.
