Jobs lost in crunch

TWELVE per cent of skilled workers in Bahrain have lost their jobs as a result of the global credit crunch, according to a Gulf-wide study.

Pay rises have also been affected by the downturn but the region remains in a healthier state than most, found the Middle East recruitment firm GulfTalent.com.

The study, Employment and Salary Trends in the Gulf 2009-2010, is the agency's fifth annual report of its kind and provided a comprehensive account of the impact that the downturn has had on recruitment and pay.
