The campaigns launched by the Ministry of Labor and Passports on tour shops in a number of Riyadh markets, most notably the Al-Mursalat complex, which is one of the largest complexes controlled by foreign workers, led to providing job opportunities for Saudi youth more than 50 percent.
A large number of violators of the residency system have abandoned their shops, replaced by young Saudis who have long been looking for job opportunities, and young people have come to control more than 50% of the telecommunications markets in both Al Marsalat and Al Rawda

<A few weeks ago, security agencies from the Emirate of Riyadh and Passports launched raids on telecommunications and mobile phone shops to correct the status of violators working in them, which led to the closure of 70% of those shops because their employees are violators of the residency system.
Although a large number of Saudis working in the market are students, there are retirees and employees of companies who work in their shops during the evening period, confirming that their average daily incomes range between 400 and 1200 riyals, which they consider sufficient to improve their living conditions.
Economic studies have recently revealed the size of the technology and communications market, which is estimated at 19 billion riyals, and is growing by 25% annually, as most of the revenues of this market went to foreigners who still control more than 40 percent of this market, after they controlled about 70 percent before the recent campaigns carried out by the ”Labor” and ”Passports”.
