Saudi businesses in the tech and health care sectors kept up their hiring levels, while there was a drop in new jobs in the energy sector, according to a new update.

"In the oil and gas and some large scale construction projects, hiring was delayed due to adjustments in government spending," said Anurag Verma, General Manager for Saudi operations at the consultancy Innovations Group.
