Saudi jobseekers move into Uber gear for extra cash

A Uber spokesman said the service is available in 20 cities in Saudi Arabia and that more than 200,000 Saudis have driven for the app-based business since it began operations in the country in 2014.. "A large number of Saudis have joined Uber for the part-time, flexible economic opportunity it provides," a company spokesman said.. "I work 10 hours a day in addition to my other job to quickly settle my two loans.". For years, Saudi Arabia struggled to pursue "Saudisation," a programme to get firms to employ more citizens..
