The Ministry of Labour in Oman is leading the way in transparency and modernization by publishing valuable workforce data on the country’s official Open Data Portal. These machine-readable datasets include information on labor complaints, the expatriate workforce in both business activities and personal services, and the Omani workforce in the private sector. By making this information open to the public in accessible formats, the Ministry is helping researchers, policymakers, and businesses gain a clearer picture of the labor market.

This initiative supports smarter decision-making and strengthens trust between the government and citizens. Journalists can analyze labor complaints to highlight worker rights, businesses can use workforce statistics to plan recruitment, and citizens can better understand employment trends in the Sultanate. By sharing this data openly, the Ministry of Labour is not only ensuring fairness and accountability but also driving economic growth and social stability in Oman.
