Summary
34,092 employment and training opportunities were created in Oman in the first half of 2026, putting the Labour Ministry at 56.82% of its full-year target.
26,434 of those came from employment and replacement initiatives, which reached 61% of their planned goal, while training programs tied to employment and replacement served 7,658 beneficiaries, or 45% of target.
62,931 people were employed overall during the six-month period, including 34,092 first-time hires and 28,839 jobseekers with prior work experience who returned to the labor market.
The figures suggest direct hiring and replacement schemes are advancing faster than training-linked programs as Oman moves through the second half of its 2026 labor plan.
