Jordan
Index
In the late 1980s, Jordan both exported and imported labor. The
total domestic active labor force in 1987 was about 659,000
workers. Of this number, approximately 150,000 (23 percent) were
foreign guest workers, and approximately 509,000 were Jordanian
citizens. Concurrently, an estimated 350,000 Jordanians worked
abroad. In 1988 the number of Jordanians living abroad, including
dependents, was estimated at up to 1 million (see
table 9,
Appendix).
