The SSC said on Tuesday that the total number of workers in
these companies reached about 167,100 workers in 2021, compared to last year’s
figure of 165,800 workers, a growth of 0.8 percent, but it remains less than
the number recorded at the end of 2019 by about 7 percent.
The corporation explained that this decline was mainly due
to the decline in the number of non-Jordanian workers by about 21 percent,
according to Ad-Dustour.
The combined workforce of the largest 100 companies was
comprised of 70.1 percent Jordanian and 29.9 percent non-Jordanian workers out
of a total of 167,100 workers, SSC data showed.
The SSC analysis showed that of the list, 28 companies
benefited from the government’s "
Estidama" program, which covers 50
percent of workers’ wages in businesses and organizations that are unable to
operate due to the pandemic.
