Demand remains strong
The United Arab Emirates is the highest paying country of destination for overseas workers in the healthcare sector, the report noted.

According to WorkAbroad.ph, a doctor in the UAE earns as much as P253,826 a month.

A total of 117,696 OFW jobs were offered in the same period, with Saudi Arabia having the most deployment at 46,026 jobs or 39 percent of the total.

WorkAbroad.ph Business Unit Manager Rhea Suiza told reporters in a press conference that Saudi Arabia remained a major market for jobs despite the financial crisis.

She said the demand is coming mainly from private employers while jobs in the government are affected by the crisis.

For his part, Philippine Overseas Employment Association (POEA) Director Robert Larco said the demand for jobs in the services sector is still high as only oil-based industries are affected.

WorkAbroad.ph is an online jobs portal that offers overseas employment opportunities to Filipinos from POEA-licensed recruitment agencies. — VDS, GMA News
