How many Saudis are only working one hour a day?

According to civil service minister Khaled Alaraj, many Saudi government employees are really only working for an hour each day.

"The amount worked" doesn't even exceed an hour -- and that's based on studies," he said.

Almost 70% of employed Saudi nationals -- more than 3 million -- hold jobs in the public sector, according to McKinsey. The cushy positions are highly coveted because they offer ironclad job security and lucrative salaries.

McKinsey estimates that public sector wages boomed by an average of 74% between 2004 and 2013. The average government worker was making $2,400 a month in 2013.
