The labour force was of mixed culture each country people keeping of to them but not politicking against each other. The difference in culture did not affect the group dynamics as the work force was mixed and they worked well with each other. Though the work force was happy they were overworked due to the need for increased production demand and the lack of people led to the workforce making demands for increased pay and other incentives. The addition of new work force was exceedingly necessary. The labour market in Saudi Arabia is flooded with expats who take up most of the skilled jobs in the kingdom. As per a research by Gulf Talent(2014) In 2013 there was an increase in job creation of around 5% from the previous year at a 62% which is the highest job creation ate within the GCC. As per the official data from Saudi ministry the expatriate labour force amounted to over 8 million the most from India, Pakistan and other South East Asian countries (Steffen Hertog, 2012). In 2003 the Saudi Labour Council came up with Saudization in an effort to reduce the unemployment rates which were at 10% of the total work force and reduce the number of expatriates to approximately 20% of the entire local population (Pakkiasamy, 2004). Though the employment rate has gone up over the years and as per an article in
* Thousands of low wage labors were forced to leave, such as shopkeepers and drivers, there are not always even enough Saudis who even want these job to replace them that resulted with replacing the good, skilled and cost effective labor with a national Saudi who lacks the interest, skill or experience in some cases to perform these jobs
The unemployment rate in America is a huge factor with noticing on how well the labor force has been doing in the past. Overall the unemployment rate in America has been slowly decreasing in the past couple of years. “The unemployment rate hit 10 percent in October [2009], and there are good reasons to believe that by 2011, 2012, even 2014, it will have declined only a little” (Peck). It is a slow process, but hopefully in the future it will not be a problem anymore. Another statistic that should be looked at is the poverty rate in America. “The official poverty rate in 2006 was 12.3 percent, down from 12.6 percent in 2005” (U.S. Census Bureau). The poverty level has relatively remained level and has not changed drastically. The poverty
In Document B, which was explained by David A. Wells, an engineer and economist, was informative on how working condition were analogous to a military organization, “in which the individual no longer works as independently as formerly, but as a private in the ranks, obeying orders, keeping step, as it were, to the tap of the drum, and having nothing to say as to the plan of his work, of its final completion, or of its ultimate use and distribution. In short, the people who work in the modern factory are, as a rule, taught to do one thing—to perform one and generally a simple operation; and when there is no more of that kind of work to do, they are in a measure helpless.” (Document B) Which meant that workers at the factory basically don’t hold responsibility to themselves, as workers mainly are only trained to one job, relating to David A. Well theory. Document F sourced by Samuel Gompers, also portrays how the conditions were explaining that there was too many workers trying to fit in one factory place, and poor conditions. This was how union were created, to regain benefits, as well for better working
The rise of organized labor positively impacted society in the workplace. During industrialization, the demand for unskilled workers brought new groups to the workplace. These groups included immigrants, woman and children. The workforce tripled during this period. In factories, the laborers worked for low wages, for long hours and often in unsafe conditions. They united together to form labor unions and demanded
Women and children were able to join the work force, but for little pay and long hours. Many were face with poor work conditions, hazardous health issues and short lunch breaks. The economic success was often left unchecked by authorities, who were not ready to deal with the consequences of these uncharted waters.
It is mainly because of the booming economy which caused raise in direct labor cost
Currently the unemployment rate is twenty-three percent (Roberts). That is a very high rate compared to past when
Firms seeking foreign workers to employ, are aware about immigration issues, therefore, they seek reforms on their employment process on which immigrants are selected for jobs that are not filled domestically by native workers. The demand for unskilled is still high in my countries to maintain the cost competitiveness. A similar condition could be observed in Thailand job market, where demand for unskilled and half skilled labor creates supply-demand gaps that needs to be filled. Some jobs have low interest to be filled by natives. According to Nicholson, “Unskilled migrants have been working in a range of 3D jobs (Dirty, Dangerous, and Demeaning)” (2009). Those low-skilled jobs could include fisheries, seafood processing, and agriculture.

Every year, hundreds of expatriates arrive in Kuwait because of their poverty, and the reason behind that is that their governments’ economy is essentially weak. In addition, those people who live under poor conditions cannot earn their basic needs. For example, poor people cannot afford proper education and that would prevent them from getting a decent job to be able to provide their necessities. As a result, we have heard about those tragedies all over the years. Therefore, poor people leave their countries in order to survive through working outside their own country to ensure their needs and their family life. In the meantime, expatriates face a lot of trouble while working outside their country.

Context: In 2009, India was the world’s largest democracy; with a population of 1.16billion growing at 1.4% per annum, the country suffered from a huge disparity in income with the majority of Indian population (78%) living in rural areas, and as many as 80% living under $2 per day. The 78% who lived in rural areas accounted for c. 64% of total expenditures in India. Around 50% of the Indian population did not have sufficient awareness of dental healthcare, and did not associate dental problems with improper care but rather to eating habits or genetics; most of these Indians were using natural remedies as chewing twigs from the Neem tree. Among the remaining population who used modern dental healthcare or a toothbrush, 77% brushed their teeth less than twice a day (recommended usage), and out of the 747.1million brushes sold every year, only 8.6% replaced their brush every 3 months. Cottle-Taylor (CT) enjoyed a large market share in India and focused on toothbrushes. Given the peculiarities of the market, CT decided to focus on toothbrushes where it enjoys larger gross margins by virtue of its existing manufacturing infrastructure that has been built over the years.
